Support for security start-ups

Editorial Type: News     Date: 01-2016    Views: 1062      






A programme aimed at supporting cyber security start-ups will help develop technical solutions to keep the UK safe from attacks, the government has announced

Start-ups that want to offer cyber security solutions will be able to get help, advice and support through the ‘Early Stage Accelerator Programme’ to develop their products and services, and bring them to market.

The £250,000 programme - the first of its kind for the UK cyber security sector - will be run in partnership by Cyber London and the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) at Queen’s University Belfast.

Speaking at the joint UK / US Global Cyber Security Innovation Summit at the British Museum London, John Whittingdale, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, said: “The UK’s strong and growing digital economy is changing the way we live and work. As technologies continue to evolve, there will be an increased demand for secure products and services; this new programme will ensure the best ideas from our brightest minds can help keep the UK safe in cyberspace. I’m delighted to announce Cyber London and CSIT Belfast as partners in running this new programme.”

Funded by the government’s National Cyber Security Programme, the initiative will support ideas that may currently struggle to gain investment funding, because they are at an early stage and not yet fully developed.
