CSIT 2

从一开始，CSIT的愿景就是建立一个全球网络安全创新中心，以促进这一具有战略重要性的英国经济部门的增长。在过去五年中，CSIT的第一阶段取得了重大成就。该中心已发展到80多人，现已成为国际上最大的同类学术中心之一，并日益被公认为网络安全技术研究的领先者。CSIT与行业和政府一起创建了独特的“开放式创新”模式，成功地“弥合了差距”对经济的影响。CSIT拥有众多的国际合作伙伴关系和研究链接，包括几个FP7和Horizon 2020合作研究项目。CSIT已衍生出3家新企业，支持了众多初创企业和中小企业的规模，并促成了贝尔法斯特新的网络安全集群的出现(过去5年宣布了900多个新工作岗位)。CSIT已相对于第一阶段交付了服务，并承诺扩大活动和影响，提高了英国各地创新和增长的标准。第二阶段的愿景和战略可以概括为：继续建立一个全球网络安全创新中心，提高增长门槛。作为这一战略的核心，CSIT将不会放弃对第一阶段创新中心模式的关注(加速新的价值创造、新的风险创造和能力建设)，因为这是增长和未来转化的引擎。CSIT的计划将通过向创新中心提供合作创新者以及CSIT自己的创新来增加对这一增长引擎的投入。CSIT还将扩大活动范围，进一步向英国网络安全行业提供技能、培训和人员。CSIT的计划还将通过正规化网络预加速器计划来增加增长引擎的产出。CSIT还将增加对已确定的高增长公司的扩大支持，并为CSIT涌现并已成为核心的网络安全集群提供领导。在CSIT第二阶段，研究将在“保护我们的数字明天”的主题下进行，创造将电子安全无缝集成到未来智能城市和物联网(IoT)所需的新技术。卓越的研究将继续是CSIT的重点。CSIT创新和知识产权将通过各种创新计划来开发，其中一些将是核心资金，一些将通过与合作伙伴的外部竞争赢得。CSIT在广泛的安全研究领域拥有世界领先的研究专业知识。凭借这方面的专业知识，并通过长期的推测性博士研究，CSIT将解决未来SmartCity系统的安全需求。然而，根据以往的经验，CSIT意识到，资源不应过于分散在如此奇特的研究主题上。因此，CSIT选择了它认为最令人兴奋和创新、最具商业开发潜力的三个研究项目。由研究人员、博士生和工程师组成的专门团队将推动这些项目的发展，这些项目将与我们的行业合作伙伴和高级学术委员会成员一起每年进行审查。最初确定的研究和创新计划是：安全无处不在的网络、设备认证和安全分析以及自主传感器安全。网络安全仍然是一门新兴学科，但正在迅速发展。这为研究、新的商业和经济影响提供了令人兴奋的机会。CSIT处于有利地位，可以在所有这些方面做出进一步和重大的贡献，并帮助英国在国际研究声誉和衡量经济增长方面定位。

From the outset, CSIT's vision has been to establish a Global Innovation Hub for Cyber Security in order to promote growthin this strategically important sector of the UK economy. There have been major achievements in the past five years duringCSIT's Phase 1. The Centre has grown to over 80 people and is now one of the largest academic centres of its typeinternationally, and is increasingly recognised as a leader in cyber security technology research. CSIT has created aunique 'Open Innovation' model with Industry and Government that is successfully 'bridging the gap' to economic impact.CSIT has numerous International partnerships and research links including several FP7 and Horizon 2020 collaborativeresearch projects. CSIT has spun-out 3 new ventures, supported numerous start-ups and SMEs scale and nucleated theemergence of a new cyber security cluster in Belfast (Over 900 new jobs announced in the last 5 years).CSIT has delivered against Phase 1 and commits to scale activity and impact, raising the bar on innovation and growthacross the UK. The vision and strategy for Phase 2 can be summarised by, 'continuing to establish a global innovation hubfor cyber security, raising the bar on growth'. At the heart of this strategy CSIT will not lose focus on the Phase 1 innovationhub model (accelerating new value creation, new venture creation and building capacity), as this is the engine from whichincreased and future translation is possible. CSIT's plan will increase inputs to this growth engine by feeding the innovationhub with partner innovators as well as CSIT's own innovation. CSIT will also extend activities to further supply skills,training and people to the UK cyber security industry. CSIT's plan will also increase outputs from the growth engine byformalising a Cyber PreAccelerator Programme. CSIT will also increase scale-up support for identified high growthcompanies and provide leadership for the cyber security cluster that emerged from, and has been nucleated by CSIT. InCSIT Phase 2 Research will be developed under the theme "Securing our Digital Tomorrow" creating the new technologiesneeded for the seamless integration of electronic security into future Smart Cities and the Internet of Things (IoT).Research Excellence will continue to be a focus within CSIT. CSIT Innovation and IP will be developed through variousInnovation Programmes, some of which will be core funded and some of which will be competitively won externally withcollaborative partners. CSIT has world-leading research expertise in a wide range of security research areas. With thisexpertise, and through longer-term speculative PhD research, CSIT will address the security requirements of future SmartCity systems. However, from previous experience, CSIT realises resources should not be spread too thinly on such a vastrange of research topics. Therefore, CSIT has chosen to select three research programmes, it believes to be the mostexciting and innovative, with the most potential for commercial exploitation. Dedicated teams of researchers, PhD studentsand engineers will drive the development of these programmes which will be reviewed annually in conjunction with ourindustry partners and senior academic board members. The selected Research and Innovation Programme Themesidentified at the outset are: Secure Ubiquitous Networking, Device Authentication and Security Analytics and AutonomousSensor Security.Cyber security is still an emerging discipline but one that is growing rapidly. This is presenting exciting opportunities forresearch, new business and economic impact. CSIT is in a strong position to make further and significant contributions inall of these aspects and help position the UK in terms of international research reputation as well as scaling economicgrowth.
