Last year, 46% of UK businesses reported cyber-attacks or breaches. Cyber-attacks cost small/nano businesses £175m last year in Greater Manchester alone; 56,000 small businesses were attacked, of which 12,000 were attacked weekly. The MOJO project is motivated by the commitment of THG PLC to have the best possible security protection for its e-commerce and hosting business. This extends to wanting to understand how future Arm platforms, as represented by the Morello System-on-Chip (SoC), could improve the security of its business while contributing directly to the Morello software ecosystem. The project is led by THG, a world leader in the e-commerce sector, where it operates by ensuring that its e-commerce services and data centre hosting provide advanced security technologies. THG's e-commerce platform runs in data centers across the world, and it is under constant attack due to its prominent market position. THG has accumulated wide-ranging cybersecurity experience, and a growing volume of collected data from such attacks. THG is assisted by the University of Manchester (UoM). The team at UoM has unique research expertise on Java Virtual Machines and Arm systems. MOJO will enrich the Arm-developed technology platform (Morello platform and software stack) by developing an open source robust, mature and security-enhanced Java Virtual Machine (JVM). JVMs are of key importance for THG, as well as for most software developers. The Morello ecosystem lacks important software technology for data centres; for example Scala- and Java-based big data frameworks (such as Apache Spark, Flink, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Storm, Cassandra, Giraph, ...) which require a mature and robust JVM.The social and economic benefits of a security improved JVM are directly associated with reducing the potential impact of security breaches and attacks, and the costs required to secure digital businesses and services. The societal impacts are improved public perception to the benefits of technology, and less disruption to the daily activities of individuals in society due to security incidents, and service outages across public, government, and paid for digital services. Demonstrating the enhanced security capabilities in JVMs, strengthens the global and, especially, UK impact to online business, the public and government services and objectives. Finally, the proposed robust and mature JVM will enrich the Morello software ecosystem capable of protecting against future cyber-attacks.

去年，46%的英国企业报告了网络攻击或违规行为。去年，仅在大曼彻斯特地区，网络攻击就给小型/纳米企业造成了1.75亿英镑的损失; 56，000家小型企业受到攻击，其中12，000家每周受到攻击。MOJO项目的动机是THG PLC承诺为其电子商务和托管业务提供最好的安全保护。这延伸到想要了解以Morello片上系统（SoC）为代表的未来Arm平台如何提高其业务的安全性，同时直接为Morello软件生态系统做出贡献。该项目由电子商务领域的全球领导者THG领导，其运营方式是确保其电子商务服务和数据中心托管提供先进的安全技术。THG的电子商务平台在世界各地的数据中心运行，由于其突出的市场地位，它不断受到攻击。THG积累了广泛的网络安全经验，以及越来越多的此类攻击数据。THG得到了曼彻斯特大学（UoM）的协助。UoM的团队在Java虚拟机和Arm系统方面拥有独特的研究专长。MOJO将通过开发一个开源的强大、成熟和安全增强的Java虚拟机（JVM）来丰富Arm开发的技术平台（Morello平台和软件堆栈）。JVM对于THG以及大多数软件开发人员来说都非常重要。Morello生态系统缺乏用于数据中心的重要软件技术;例如基于Scala和Java的大数据框架（如Apache Spark，Flink，Kafka，Elasticsearch，Storm，Cassandra，Giant......）安全改进的JVM的社会和经济效益与减少安全漏洞和攻击的潜在影响以及保护数字业务和服务所需的成本直接相关。社会影响是改善公众对技术好处的看法，减少由于安全事件对社会中个人日常活动的干扰，以及公共，政府和付费数字服务的服务中断。展示JVM中增强的安全功能，加强了全球，特别是英国对在线业务，公共和政府服务和目标的影响。最后，所提出的健壮和成熟的JVM将丰富Morello软件生态系统，能够抵御未来的网络攻击。
