Strengthening Cybersecurity Through Collaboration: Why We’ve Partnered with the Eastern Cyber Resilience Centre

In the ever-evolving threat landscape of today, staying ahead of cybercriminals requires more than just technology, it demands a collaborative, intelligence-led approach. At Sunrise, we’ve always believed in proactive protection, and that’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with the Eastern Cyber Resilience Centre (ECRC).

This strategic alliance marks a significant step in our ongoing commitment to delivering robust cybersecurity support to our clients. Here’s why we joined the ECRC, and what it means for your business.

What Is the Eastern Cyber Resilience Centre (ECRC)?

The Eastern Cyber Resilience Centre (ECRC) is part of the national Cyber Resilience Centre network in the UK, a government-backed initiative designed to improve cyber resilience across the public and private sectors.

Operating in close collaboration with regional police forces, universities, and businesses, the ECRC provides guidance, training, and access to cyber threat intelligence. Its goal is to reduce cybercrime through education, awareness, and collective action.

Why Sunrise Has Joined the ECRC

Our decision to partner with the ECRC is rooted in our mission to stay one step ahead of threats, not just for ourselves, but for our clients.

By joining the ECRC, we gain:

  • Access to regional threat intelligence through trusted law enforcement channels.
  • Collaboration with cybersecurity experts in both academia and industry.
  • Up-to-date guidance on cyber risks and resilience strategies.
  • Early warnings on emerging threats relevant to UK businesses.

This isn’t just about compliance or best practice, it’s about building a stronger, smarter defence ecosystem that protects our customers from real-world risks.

How This Benefits Our Clients

This partnership directly enhances the support we offer our customers in several key ways:

1. Stronger Cyber Defences

With shared threat intelligence and access to expert insights, we’re better positioned to detect, prevent, and respond to cyberattacks quickly and effectively.

2. Enhanced Awareness and Education

Through the ECRC, we can offer our clients training opportunities, resilience exercises, and practical resources to improve their own cyber hygiene and incident readiness.

3. Tailored Risk Assessments

We’re equipped with tools and frameworks to help assess and manage cyber risks in businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to larger enterprises, in a structured and informed way.

4. A Network of Trust

Being part of the ECRC puts us in direct contact with regional policing units and cybersecurity researchers, allowing us to contribute to and benefit from a trusted network dedicated to reducing cybercrime.

Looking Ahead

This partnership is a proactive move that reinforces our role as a trusted cybersecurity partner. As cyberattacks grow in scale and sophistication, businesses need more than just tools, they need the right knowledge, support, and connections.

At Sunrise, we’re proud to offer that, and more, by working with the ECRC to strengthen cyber resilience across the region.
