Research and development in cyber security

We have strong experience in implementing national and international projects over several years. Cyber security threats and the means to protect against them are at the centre of the cyber security research we apply. Research is carried out from a number of perspectives and considering the needs of various sectors. Of additional interest is the development of comprehensive preparedness of organisations and/or sectors against digital threats.
