Cyber Security Facility

The School of Science boasts an impressive range of cyber security research facilities including two Security Operations Centres and two red/blue teaming laboratories.

A Security Operations Centre (SOC) allows security analysts to work in hierarchical teams within a focussed environment to detect, evaluate, mitigate and triage cyber security incidents.  Our SOC capability allows our researchers to investigate novel data visualisation and interpretation mechanisms as well as looking at the human factors of SOC operations by monitoring analysts in a safe, controlled environment with the aim of improving the effectiveness and resilience of SOC operators.

Our red/blue teaming facilities allow for large-scale attack/defence scenarios to be executed in a large, but controlled environment.  Our capability covers both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) infrastructure to deliver common computing environments (server, desktop, mobile and other personal devices) and a range of OT/IoT end-points.  The combination of large-scale cyber exercises and SOC monitoring environments provide our researchers with world-class facilities.
