The UK is becoming increasingly reliant on complex interconnected infrastructure systems; this also leads to the vulnerability of attack especially from cyber connections. To address gaps in understanding cybersecurity threats and developing defences for Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) systems, The Alan Turing Institute aim to enhance both research capabilities and real-world resilience. While energy (power grids), water systems, and transportation are primary sectors of interest, applicants are encouraged to explore other CNI sectors as well. All proposed scenarios must be grounded in reality, representing threats observed in actual CNI environments or systems.
