This page out details of the 19 UK universities which are
recognised as Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber
Security Research (ACE-CSRs).
These universities are carrying out some of the leading UK
cyber security research. The brochure available via the
link above contains details of what they specialise in and
how they contribute to the UK’s increased knowledge and
capability in cyber security. This work contributes to the
government’s National Cyber
Security Strategy, which is making the UK the safest
place to live and work online.
