It is vital that leading edge British cyber security research has real world impact.

Professor Siraj Shaikh,

Coventry University and Director of CyberOwl

Crossword Cybersecurity works closely with academia, tech accelerators  and academic start-ups to ensure new cybersecurity and third party risk management knowledge is incorporated into our products and services.

Whether it is industry-academia collaboration around a grant, working with academic start-ups, or co-creation of spin-offs, we’ve worked with, supported, and mentored over 50 British and European universities in their efforts to build value from their cyber security & risk knowledge.

We have a flexible way of working because each project is different.
