On average ten significant cyberattacks are recorded every month by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.
That's the international threat that Caerphilly-based Awen Collective is working with other cybersecurity companies to counter.
Co-led by Executive and Co-Founding Director Daniel Lewis, the company have emerged as one of the foremost cybersecurity start-ups in Wales, thanks to a vast array of knowledge, expertise and software solutions. It is a past winner of the Cyber Den competition at the CyberUK exhibition and collaborates with the likes of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Awen’s innovative solutions help protect critical infrastructure facilities, such as oil and gas pipelines or water reserves, that often are sited in remote locations and may only be visited infrequently by maintenance teams. Awen monitors such facilities for anomalies and atypical behaviour that could potentially represent a malicious attack.
Part of Awen Collective's strength is that it is part of a thriving cyber ecosystem in Wales. According to the National Digital Exploitation Centre, the Welsh cyber industry employs over 45,000 people and contributes more than £8bn a year to the Welsh economy. In addition, the Cyber Wales trade group has more than 2,000 members, who gather to exchange information and share best practice.
'None of us can tackle the cyber security need of society by ourselves. We exist in an ecosystem, and we are continually building a community of friends, to help solve these problems, together,' says Lewis.
