Our mantra is “It Takes a Network to Defeat a Network” and our primary objective to foster collaboration and networking has been immensely successful, with our events culminating every year with our annual EU Cyber Summit.
The ICTTF was born in Ireland and when launched used the slogan “Ní neart go cur le chéile” which in English translates to “There is no Strength Without Unity”.

Strength comes from knowledge, so we have developed the Cyber Risk Academy as an online training campus for individuals and organizations to become cyber strong and unified.
