The Digital Security by Design initiative aims to address the issues caused by cyber attacks, and provide an opportunity for enterprising developers to explore new secure applications.
Lower costs to cyber security
Increased difficulty for cyber attacks
Computer industry deployment of an advanced security architecture
Production of scalable, secured, products and services
Increased research in cyber security
Motivation of UK industries for change
Development of new skills and jobs in the UK aligned with the new hardware and software
UK to lead the world in computer security
Digital Security by Design is supported by a consortium of more than 30 of the world’s leading technology companies, academic institutions and researchers and UK government agencies. These include Arm, University of Cambridge, Google, Thales, University of Edinburgh, Hewlett Packard, University of Oxford, Innovate UK, Microsoft, University of Manchester, Digital Catapult, Linaro, Kings College London, National Cyber Security Centre and UK Research and Innovation.
Developers and tech organisations can get involved in several ways including taking part in DSbD events, contributing to open source projects, trialling CHERI, requesting a prototype Morello board to experiment with, or joining the Digital Security by Design Technology Access Programme.
The Digital Security by Design Technology Access Programme has been developed to build a pipeline and community of developers and technology companies to trial and experiment with the new DSbD technologies.
Programme participants will have access to the prototype hardware, technical guides, funding and industry and technical mentors, to support an experimentation period with the DSbD technologies within their own organisations.
