The Cyber Trust was founded in March 2017 as the opportunities and dangers of the digital revolution were becoming increasingly apparent. Our vision was to help children and vulnerable people access the digital world safely and securely while at the same time enjoying the benefits of the digital environment.

Our goal is to advance the education and protection of the citizens of the United Kingdom in the area of personal cyber security through training, research and the development of individual capabilities, paying particular attention to those most at risk.
