How does Cyber League work with Industry 100?
Cyber League is flexible and complements the Industry 100 (i100) secondment programme. It is open to people who cannot commit to the time required by i100, but still have experience and knowledge to share for operational benefit. Anyone can visit the i100 pages for more information.
