Regional e-crime Hubs

Rob Cotton, Chief Executive, NCC Group plc comments on the launch of the new regional e-crime hub in Manchester:

"We welcome the move to place one of the new e-crime hubs here. There is already a wealth of digital and technological innovation going on in the region, so it makes sense for the hub to draw on that.
 
"Harold Wilson described the 'white heat' of Manchester's technology scene nearly fifty years ago. With its universities, high-tech businesses and the new hub there's now a real opportunity for the city to recreate that, and become the UK's leading centre of excellence for information security.
 
"The next step should be investment in education and training to ensure that the next generation of innovators continues to develop the region's expert reputation."
