Digital Security by Design Technology Access Programme is delivered in partnership with Digital Catapult, funded by UKRI.
Through the DSbD Technology Access Programme (TAP), qualifying UK-based companies will have access to LowRISC’s Sonata board, Arm’s Morello board, the CHERI stack, and technical support to experiment with cutting-edge cyber security technology. Delivered to you by Digital Catapult.
Companies will have exclusive access to cutting-edge cyber security technology, capable – if implemented correctly – of preventing around two thirds of hacks, cyber attacks and data breaches. This technology, has the potential to open up whole new markets for cyber secure by design products, providing competitive advantage to companies who are already familiar with it.
