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.
