A Closer Look at the Cyber Accelerator
The Cyber Accelerator is designed to assist cybersecurity startups that support the cybersecurity industry within the UK, NCSC stated. It helps cybersecurity startups bring new products to market, as well as drive the UK cybersecurity market's growth.
Cyber Accelerator startups are selected via an open competition, and they are tasked with identifying areas of cybersecurity weakness where new products are needed, NCSC noted. Participating startups then receive technical leadership and advice from the NCSC.
The Cyber Accelerator began in 2017, and it is now in its fourth cohort. Cyber Accelerator alumni include CounterCraft, CyberOwl and RazorSecure, among other cybersecurity companies.
