Cyber Security Grants Available for UK Firms to Trial Cutting-Edge Technologies

The Digital Security by Design (DSbD) Technology Access Programme offers UK companies a unique opportunity to trial advanced cyber security technologies. Participants will gain access to lowRISC’s Sonata board, Arm’s Morello board, the CHERI stack, and expert technical support to integrate and test these technologies within their systems, products, and applications.

Through this programme, companies can experiment with and validate prototype cyber security technologies, providing valuable feedback that will shape their development before commercialisation.

In addition to technical guidance from experts at lowRISC, Arm, the University of Cambridge, and Digital Catapult, participating businesses will receive a £15,000 grant during the experimentation period.

The programme is open to UK-based companies that thrive on innovation and technological experimentation. Eligible industries include:

• Information Technology and Services
• Computer Software
• Industrial Automation
• Computer Hardware
• CPU Semiconductors
• Energy
• Automotive
• Telecoms
• Manufacturers of Connected Consumer and Industrial Electronics (IoT & IIoT)

Companies with a strong R&D focus and an interest in cyber security are particularly encouraged to apply.

The application deadline is 22 September 2024. Full details here.
