The Lancaster Cyber Security Centre of Excellence is a multi-disciplinary centre spanning the School of Computing and Communications, the Department of Psychology and the University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language (UCREL). The centre involves three full professors (Rashid, Hutchison, Honary), one Reader (Angelov), five senior lecturers (Race, Roedig, Taylor, Mauthe, Ed- wards) and one lecturer (Rayson). In addition, the centre has a dedicated member of staff (Dr. Daniel Prince) to manage its flagship Masters program in Cyber Security and the extensive relationships it has with industry and governmental security organisations. The centre team is further supported by a full-time software developer and a full-time administrator.The centre is internationally renowned for its cyber security research on network resilience (Hutchison, Mauthe, Race), security of communications (Honary, Hutchison, Race, Edwards), securing mobile networks and embedded systems (Race, Edwards, Roedig), intelligent systems for analysing large, heterogeneous information sources (Rashid, Rayson, Taylor, Angelov) and studies of user behaviours and human factors leading to cyber security threats (Rashid, Taylor, Rayson). These permanent members of staff are supported by five postdoctoral research associates (Greenwood, Baron, Smith, Simpson, Schaeffer-Filho) and two research fellows (Walkerdine, Taylor). This research has been funded from a variety of sources including research councils (EPSRC, ESRC), the European Commission, JANET and direct investment from security organisations. Since Jan. 2007, the centre has received total research income of £3.7m from these sources. In addition, the centre has a thriving PhD program with 12 students completing their theses between Jan. 2007 and Dec. 2011 and another 15 starting their PhD studies. Most of the centre staff and students are principally housed in Infolab21, a £15m state-of-the-art research centre in ICT. Two key principles permeate the centre's research ethos and hence distinguish it from typical cyber security research (i) its focus on multi-disciplinary research that combines traditional network security and communications mechanisms with approaches for large-scale data analysis and human behaviours informed by psychological and linguistic approaches, and (ii) its close engagement with stakeholders especially practitioners in cyber security in both governmental organisations and industry, who provide key requirements for our research and directly use our outputs.

卓越的兰开斯特网络安全中心是一个多学科的中心，跨越计算和通信学院，心理学系和语言计算机语料库研究（UCREL）的大学中心。该中心有三名正教授（Rashid、Hutchison、Honary）、一名讲师（Angelov）、五名高级讲师（Race、Roedig、Taylor、Mauthe、艾德-沃德）和一名讲师（Rayson）。此外，该中心有一名专门的工作人员（丹尼尔王子博士）来管理其网络安全旗舰硕士课程以及与行业和政府安全组织的广泛关系。中心团队更有一名全职软件开发员及一名全职管理员提供支援。中心以研究网络复原力的网络安全而享誉国际（Hutchison，Mauthe，Race），通信安全（Honary、Hutchison、Race、Edwards），保护移动的网络和嵌入式系统（Race，Edwards，Roedig），分析大型异构信息源的智能系统（Rashid，Rayson，Taylor，Angelov）以及对导致网络安全威胁的用户行为和人为因素的研究（Rashid，Taylor，Rayson）。这些工作人员的永久成员是由五个博士后研究助理（格林伍德，男爵，史密斯，辛普森，Schaid-Filho）和两个研究员（Walkerdine，泰勒）的支持。这项研究得到了各种来源的资助，包括研究委员会（EPSRC，ESRC），欧盟委员会，JANET和安全组织的直接投资。自2007年1月以来，该中心从这些来源获得了370万英镑的总研究收入。此外，该中心有一个蓬勃发展的博士课程，2007年1月至2011年12月期间有12名学生完成了论文，另有15名学生开始了博士研究。大多数中心的工作人员和学生主要住在Infolab 21，这是一个耗资1500万英镑的最先进的ICT研究中心。该中心的研究精神贯穿两个关键原则，因此将其与典型的网络安全研究区分开来：（i）其重点是多学科研究，将传统的网络安全和通信机制与大规模数据分析方法以及心理学和语言学方法所告知的人类行为相结合，及（ii）与持份者，特别是政府机构及业界的网络安全从业员保持紧密联系，他们为我们的研究提供关键要求，并直接使用我们的成果。
