HMGCC Co-Creation Challenge: Smart personal assistant for security researchers

HMGCC Co-Creation is launching a new 12-week funded challenge to develop a smart personal assistant for security researchers.

Can you help us unlock faster, smarter vulnerability insights?

When machinery is procured to support national security and defence it has to be thoroughly checked for security vulnerabilities — and those vulnerabilities need to be understood and addressed. The work depends on highly skilled security researchers who assess vulnerabilities and advise on mitigations. But before the expert analysis can begin, there’s a significant bottleneck: finding, indexing and understanding the vast amount of open-source technical information that exists about complex industrial machinery.

HMGCC Co-Creation are launching this challenge to develop a software tool to Technology Readiness Level 6, that works without an internet connection and can assist a security researcher to index, search and understand vast quantities of data faster, enabling faster decision making.

HMGCC Co-Creation will provide funding for time, materials, overheads and other indirect expenses for successful applicants, with a total budget of up to £60k.
