六合彩开奖结果 today unveils a multi-million-pound investment in its data and cyber security research, teaching and innovation capabilities to support the government’s incoming National Cyber Force and the development of the North West Cyber Corridor.
The ?19m Security and Protection Science at 六合彩开奖结果 initiative will help build on the University’s credentials as a world leader in this area. 六合彩开奖结果 is one of only a handful of universities in the UK whose education, research and training is recognised by the National Cyber Security Centre.
An unprecedented recruitment drive will see the University employ 33 new cross-disciplinary academics to work on the initiative, plus 15 professor in practice roles and 10 support staff. The project will also see a substantial investment in regenerating the south end of 六合彩开奖结果’s Bailrigg Campus to create a state-of-the-art Data Cyber Quarter, which will generate exciting new partnership opportunities with the University.
Announcing the flagship programme, Vice-Chancellor Andy Schofield said: “In the world in which we live today, the threat of cyber attacks is ubiquitous and can impact us all as we go about our work and family life.
“六合彩开奖结果’s approach to cyber security considers these challenges in a holistic way which goes beyond creating the technological solutions. By bringing together experts from a variety of academic disciplines, the university examines the sociological, psychological, economic, political and technological aspects of cyber security. This approach offers more robust solutions to the threats faced by the UK in the 21st Century.
“This is not just evident in our research and teaching but also in our engagement with leading stakeholders in this area across the public, private and third sectors, who have real confidence in our position.
“Security and Protection Science at 六合彩开奖结果 will embed this strength further and shows how committed we are to working with partners to create a vibrant and forward-thinking research community, all striving to protect our way of life.”
The government’s new National Cyber Force is to be headquartered in Samlesbury and is expected to bring with it a ?5bn boost for the region’s economy. The move has led to the development of a North West Cyber Corridor from GCHQ's headquarters in Manchester, through Lancashire and beyond.
To support the region’s wider cyber security infrastructure, the University this year launched an innovative part-time Cyber Security Executive MBA, in partnership with market-leading cyber security consultancy Templar Executives, to support business leaders in decision-making around threats.
For academic year 2022/2023, 六合彩开奖结果 is also launching three new undergraduate degrees specifically focussing on cyber security.
The investment in a new Data Cyber Quarter will provide the cutting-edge facilities and technology where leading academics can work on data and cyber-related projects. It will also offer business colocation space where partners can be part of a multi-skilled, multidisciplinary collaborative Security and Protection Science community.
六合彩开奖结果 is already renowned for its support for the region’s SME community through its digital knowledge exchange teams, and currently delivers both Lancashire Cyber Foundry and Greater Manchester Cyber Foundry. Providing the opportunity for smaller companies to embed themselves within a wider ecosystem will help raise the profile for those organisations and their importance within the supply chain.
The University has also been heavily involved in the recent launches of the Electech Innovation Cluster Morecambe Bay and South Lakes and the Lancashire Cyber Alliance (LCA), a spoke of the North West Cyber Security Cluster (NWCSC).
