QUB Joins Japanese Institute To Prevent Cyber Attacks
Queen's University Belfast is working with a Japanese institute to help reduce the threat of cyber attacks.
The Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) at Queen's has signed a 'Memoranda of Understanding' with the Network Security Laboratory of the Japanese National Institute of Communications and Technology (NICT).
The collaboration will see the institutions work in partnership on new technologies to protect computers and data from cyber-attacks.
The partnership between Queen's, Lancaster University, Imperial College London and the NICT was brokered through the Science and Innovation Network (SIN).
Vice-Chancellor of Queen's University Belfast, Professor Patrick Johnston, said: "This cyber security collaboration is the latest example of our growing reputation as a powerhouse of world-class research, promoting innovation, advancing knowledge and supporting the needs of society."
Dr Godfrey Gaston, Director of Operations at the Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT) at Queen's, said: "The threat to our cyber security respects no borders and is truly global in its reach. This is an exciting opportunity for us to work with Japan's premier Cybersecurity Research Institute and reflects CSIT's growing reputation as a global innovation hub for cyber security research."
