UK academia gets funding to improve scalability in cyber.
Teams from Lancaster University, the University of Bristol, and the University of Oxford have received £6.3 million in funding to improve critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
The Securing Convergent Ultra-large Scale Infrastructures (SCULI) programme will be led by the university teams, and the funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council will better understand the problems at scale, and designing solutions that work at that scale.
The teams will also create incident response playbooks tailored specifically for ultra-large-scale infrastructures to optimise decision-making processes, striking an optimal balance between human intervention and automated responses during cyber attacks, according to media reports.
The programme will also explore methods to harmonise and manage security provisions across a diverse range of infrastructures. This will include devising strategies that accommodate both legacy and modern system elements.
