We have just been notified that The Cyber Helpline has made it to the semi-final stage of the National Cyber Security Centre’s Accelerator programme which begins later this year.

The accelerator is designed to help innovative cyber security startups who can have an impact on protecting the UK in cyberspace. The nine month programme helps to inject expertise into the startup and help it effectively grow and test its operating and business model.

The semi-final stage is a three minute pitch followed by a five minute Q&A. The panel consists of members from the National Cyber Security Centre, Wayra London, 02 and Eleven Paths (Telefonica’s cyber security unit).

If successful, we are hoping that the accelerator programme will help us scale our capability to meet the demands of all of the cyber crime victims in the UK who need our help.
