No Austerity for Security

Things might not be too bad from a security innovation point of view from the recent UK government cuts:

·         RDA science money has gone to the TSB, who of course like networks so perhaps could extend SITC to become a Security KTN (which in my view should include the ex-Cyber Security KTN now lost in the Digital Systems KTN);

·         University science spending has barely been cut but there will be a lot of pressure to improve commercialisation;

·         The TSB appear to be getting money for the Hauser centres;

·         Cyber security has been awarded a significant budget;
