The British government has awarded £10-million, spread over four years, to nine research teams at UK universities, to develop innovative cybersecurity technologies. These nine research teams were the winners in the latest round of Britain’s Digital Security by Design grant competition. The aim of this competition, which was launched last year, is to stimulate the development of hardware and software that will protect key current or future digital systems from hacking. Such systems include personal computers, smart home security systems, autonomous cars as well as data storage and processing systems, which hackers have to be prevented from accessing and taking remote control of. Or, in other words, to provide better protection for people and businesses.
