#News(Security) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Cyber security technology commercialisation company, Crossword Cybersecurity plc, has released insights from its global review of academic cyber security research. The new database looked at nearly 1,200 current and past research projects from academic institutions in the United Kingdom, United States, Europe, Australia, and Africa.
It reaffirmed the value of the cyber security research market, with reported funding of European Union (EU) projects at over €1 billion. The database identified several global trends by comparing the periods January 2008 to June 2013 with July 2013 to December 2018.
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) – More than 100 projects were found in this area alone, a significant figure. The US appears to be the most active in CPS research, with a focus on securing critical infrastructure.
Privacy – Projects related to privacy have increased by 183% in recent years.
Internet of Things (IoT) – Projects with an IoT element have increased by 123% lately, with around 14% of current projects having this characteristic.
Cryptography – With the promise of quantum computing on the horizon, there has been an influx of new projects that apply the technology to the future of cryptography, with a 227% increase in this area of research (albeit this was from a low base).
Significant differences can also be seen between regions, says the company. For instance, the EU appears focused on minimising Small & Medium Enterprises’ (SMEs) exposure to cyber security risk. Conversely, when compared with other regions, the US has a greater focus on the human component of cyber security. Other US top project funding areas include Cyber Physical Systems (as applied to smart cities and power grids), securing the cloud, cybercrime, and the privacy of Big Data sets (as applied to the scientific research community)
