Security research theme
The Security theme comprises both Cyber/Network Security, and Private/Public Place Security, which includes visual surveillance, crowd analysis and emergency communication for disaster relief. This research has supported police, security, and safety services through collaborations in many funded projects.
Building on these cybersecurity activities and collaboration with the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Kingston University established the Academic Centre of Cybersecurity Education and Culture. The centre specialises in providing intelligence for live threats using state-of-the-art technology and strategies to combat cybercrime. It offers research in physical, network & cybersecurity, a GCHQ Masters qualification, and partnerships with the Home Office, the security industry, and communities.
