CSIDES is the UK’s first cyber security event built by and for a coastal community. It’s a bold one day event designed to equip individuals, businesses, and educators with the tools to protect themselves in a rapidly shifting digital world. But it’s more than just a one day event. ​Rooted in Weston-super-Mare, led by the local residents, and designed to be replicated nationally, CSIDES is setting a new standard for inclusive cyber engagement for coastal communities.
