Value & Benefits

We were invited to the annual Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR) conference. This week is a deep dive into how collaboration between research, industry and government supports wider national objectives. We look at how exactly cutting edge research is done, and drawn into the wider UK ecosystem in support of the National Cyber Strategy (to be confident, capable and resilient).

We were fortunate to be able to meet with a lot of people over the course of the conference. As a result, this week's incredible guest list is rather longer than usual:
