Since 1984 the centre has operated under a number of names as the scope of our research and industry have evolved, but with cyber security and networks remaining at its core. With a proven research pedigree, including both collaborative work with industry, national, European and International research initiatives, the Centre has made and continues to make a significant contribution to society.
