Academic Cyber Security Research: Best Practice for Commercialisation

Working paper

This paper explores the interconnections between UK academic research in cyber security and commercialisation in the innovation landscape. This focuses on the Academic Centres for Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSRs) that have been created at 13 UK universities. Through interviews with several ACE-CSRs and other stakeholders in the cyber security innovation environment, four recommendations are offered as potential areas for governments to enhance commercialisation in this area. These include further engagement with the ACE-CSR programme, consolidation of commercial knowledge, develop the use of Impact Acceleration Accounts and centralise government support on already successful centres.
