The Internet of Things is now an everyday part of our lives, but with all its benefits comes greater cyber security risks and threats.

Innovate UK and UK Research and Innovation are launching the first round of calls for business-led demonstrators targeting the security of digital technologies at the periphery in three different scenarios:

Operational resilience technologies for the protection and recovery of data in IoT;

Intelligent control systems for industry, and commercial and public sector buildings to ensure critical systems function as they were designed

Intelligently protecting the occupants and the systems of the digital home.

Come along to hear more about the aims and objectives of the call, and more details on the scope, eligibility and how to apply.

Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. This event will be streamed and recorded.

This competition is part of a wider programme run in conjunction with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Centre (EPSRC) call, found here.
