UK: New £3m cyber innovation centre in Gloucester

Uploaded on 2015-02-05 in BUSINESS-Services-IT & Telecoms, GOVERNMENT-Defence, TECHNOLOGY--Developments

A new cyber innovation unit will open in Gloucester this week. Raytheon will officially launch the new unit, which has been set up to help protect computer networks from cyber attacks.

Richard Daniel, chief executive of Raytheon UK said: "Raytheon has invested £3 million and the centre will house more than 100 of the UK's most talented cyber professionals with expertise from big data and analytics to network defence. Raytheon works extremely closely with its supply chain and actively fosters innovation. To that end, the company is also announcing that it will be launching a new cyber innovation competition aimed at small to medium-sized businesses with prizes totaling £100,000."

Richard Graham, MP for Gloucester, noted how cyber threats have been capturing headlines across the world as attacks become more frequent and prominent. "Cyber security is an increasing issue for governments and businesses around the world and there is no better time to exploit this increased cyber awareness to ensure a safer digital economy. Our Prime Minister and President Obama called for greater US-UK cooperation in developing cyber capabilities. I welcome Raytheon's investment in innovation and its supply chain, which positions our city and country at the heart of a sector that will boost growth and jobs."
