Cyber security in Northern Ireland

NI Cyber brings together cyber security companies, academia and government to grow the region’s cyber industry through collaboration, community and skills development. Its members span finance, insurance, healthcare, defence and more, and together they have made Northern Ireland one of the world’s most concentrated cyber security clusters.

Instil’s cyber security work in Belfast

Cyber security is a core part of how Instil works. From our Belfast base, we help organisations build security into their engineering, through Cyber Essentials certification, penetration testing and Agentic Pen Testing. Supporting NI Cyber lets us give back to the community that has shaped cyber security in Belfast and beyond, and work more closely with the people driving it forward.

"Northern Ireland punches well above its weight in cyber security, and that’s down to the community behind it," said Marc Dowie, Head of Cyber and Business Operations at Instil. "We’re proud to support NI Cyber and look forward to contributing to its events, conversations and the next generation of talent."

We’d like to thank Joanne English, Cluster Manager at NI Cyber, for her support in bringing us on board.

Upcoming cyber security events

We have several events in the works with the cluster. Keep an eye on our news page and LinkedIn for updates.
