Welcoming the announcement Lorraine Gray, Chief Executive of the Scottish Social Services Council said:
'As digitally enabled care services continue to grow and evolve, it's more important than ever that everyone is skilled and empowered to practice safely and securely online.
'Cybersecurity is not just something for digital specialists, it's everyone's responsibility and I’m really pleased to be working together with Abertay and the other partners to design and innovate for the future.'
Funded by £5.7m from the UK Government and £6m from the Scottish Government through the Tay Cities Deal, Abertay cyberQuarter opened on the university campus in Dundee this summer and is now welcoming its new partners having hosted a series of conferences, research activities, industry workshops and learning sessions over the last six months.
Each of the founding partners will have access to Abertay cyberQuarter’s secure office spaces, with the ability to locate staff in the hub and also to use it as a base for specific activities, projects or collaborations.
