This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition seeks proposals for novel approaches to predictive cyber security to address challenges in defence and/or security DASA are interested in proof-of-concept technologies with a view to, in the longer term, developing a deployable solution. Primarily for defence, this would be to detect and counter future cyber threats thus reducing the likelihood and impact. Total funding of up to £1 million is available in Phase 1 of this competition. We anticipate funding around 5 to 10 proof-of-concept research projects of up to 6 months in duration. Additional funding is anticipated to be available for future phases of this competition. This competition is now open. Queries should be sent to accelerator@dstl.gov.uk .
