The Amigos Network

In 2019, we started with a cold database of 5000 IT and Security professionals.

We invited them to be part of our cyber security community MYREDFORT. 6 years later, we have 3 communities including Cloud Community and TechSellers) with audiences of over 80,000 engaging with us regularly in the UK, EMEA. We are now taking off in the US. In 2024, we ran our first in-person community event during InfoSec with CyberSync and thank our supporting sponsors for their faith in us both then and again in 2025.

In 2025, during CyberSync, we introduced our podcast series 'Unpatched'. Again, we couldn’t have done this without the support of our community of cyber security professionals, and IT Channel alike.

Here’s the fruits of everyone’s 'Unpatched' labours. We look forward to doing more!
