THE FUTURE OF CYBERSECURITY STARTUPS IN THE UK>
Startups Magazine – Thanh Nguyen
With 48% of UK companies stating they do not have adequate cybersecurity and 70% of companies across Europe admitting that they do not have a sufficient cybersecurity team in general, all signs point towards continued demand for cybersecurity services and talent in 2022. NCSC (The National Cyber Security Centre) â a part of GCHQ in Britain â and Plexal, the innovation company, have recently launched NCSC For Startups programme. It is the successor to the NCSC Cyber Accelerator programme, which helped more than 40 tech companies raise over £100m in external investment.
The programme welcomes cybersecurity startups at all stages of maturity â from developing an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) to establishing cybersecurity solutions â with a desire to capture new markets and pilot technology. The programme aims to bring together innovative startups with NCSC technical expertise to solve some of the UKâs most important cyber challenges. The chosen companies will receive direct support from Plexalâs cyber innovation team and leading experts from the NCSC and GCHQ.
