Professor Andrew Martin emphasized the urgent need for advancements in cybersecurity, stating, 'There is a pressing need for improvements in cybersecurity across a broad spectrum of social and technical research.' The initiative aims to guide researchers toward impactful developments that benefit the UK and beyond, fostering collaboration across diverse sectors.
Ollie Whitehouse highlighted the importance of collaboration, asserting, 'Collaboration between academia, industry, and government is an imperative if we are to further strengthen the UK's competitive edge and enhance our national resilience to evolving cyber threats.' This underscores CRANE’s objective of uniting various stakeholders for a comprehensive approach.
The CRANE initiative will not only support grassroots research by forming special interest groups but also seeks to establish the first learned society in cybersecurity research, aiming to connect UK researchers across disciplines and engage the broader community.
With £6 million funding from the UKRI EPSRC, the CRANE NetworkPlus aims to leverage emerging technologies to protect society against future cyber threats, aligning with the UK National Cyber Strategy and improving overall cybersecurity.
