Abstract
Cyber Security has been established as a university level priority area at the University of Kent. Our Cyber Security research has had a strong focus on interdisciplinarity since 2012, when the university wide Kent Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Cyber Security (KirCCS) was established. We believe that Cyber Security challenges cannot be solved using only technological solutions, and that we need the involvement of researchers from other disciplines. A collaborative approach allows us to benefit from, and be inspired by, theories and solutions from disciplines such as psychology, physics, biology, and social sciences. Interdisciplinary collaboration has led Kent researchers to a number of major successes in external funding.
Cyber Security capabilities at the University of Kent are on four main research themes: Authentication and Authorisation; Communication and Network Security; Security Testing and Verification; and Socio-technical Security. We also have capabilities on four other cross-cutting topics: applications of AI related technologies in Cyber Security; digital forensics and cybercrime; information hiding; and quantum cyber security. Our work on AI spans all four research themes, and covers diverse techniques including machine learning, data mining, information visualisation, discrete optimisation, and soft computing.
In addition to conducting cutting-edge research, we aim to make KirCCS an innovation and impact creation hub in Cyber Security through activities on education (e.g., supporting the NCSC-certified MSc in Cyber Security programme at Kent), public engagement (e.g., conducting Cyber Security surveys and working with public media to inform and raise awareness of the general public about Cyber Security), serving government (e.g., helping law enforcement agencies to fight against threats such as cybercrime), helping industry (e.g., providing consultancies to and co-exploiting research results with industrial partners), and technology transfer (e.g., through patenting and university spin-offs). Cyber Security researchers at Kent have an excellent track record in all these areas.
The Kent ACE-CSR will work with other ACEs-CSR to enhance the international profile of UK Cyber Security research.

Planned Impact
In addition to its academic impact, interdisciplinary research on Cyber Security at the proposed Kent ACE-CSR will benefit the society as a whole in at least three different ways: 1) the technical research we do will help build better technologies for protecting people and businesses in the cyber(-physical) world; 2) our work in the Socio-Technical Security theme and research done by our Associate Members from other disciplines will generate impact beyond technologies, e.g., approaches to better understanding of human behaviour, better information security management procedures and policies, better approaches to educating people and engaging end users, better cybercrime investigation and prevention methods, better privacy and data protection mechanisms improving people's lives in the cyber(-physical) world; 3) the impact creation and public engagement activities planned will help transfer our research to the real world.

| Title | How to be a Cyber Superhero |
| Description | This is an animated video that was produced by iCSS to engage and encourage young children (school pupils below 13 years old) to consider a cyber security career path, not limited to the more technical and traditional cyber security pathway. It was released on YouTube as an open resource for all to use. |
| Type Of Art | Film/Video/Animation |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Impact | As of March 2023, the video has so far attracted over 27k videos and 60 likes. It was used at two Safer Internet Day sessions at a local school in Canterbury. |

| Description | This is not a research project, but a research centre project and the funding covers managerial matters only. The main finding for this project is that we found the EPSRC funding and the NCSC recognition helped the University of Kent to grow its cyber security research, education and impact-generation capabilities significantly. A major outcome of the project is the official establishment of the Institute of Cyber Security for Society (iCSS) in 2021, which has now become a fully functional institute with its own dedicated physical space, admin staff and an operational budget. Another major outcome is the expansion of the former research centre's remit from research into a wide range of activities including research, education, supporting the University of Kent on improving its cyber security, and wider impact generation including public engagement, school outreach, innovation and working with public bodies. |
| Exploitation Route | The Institute of Cyber Security for Society (iCSS) has become a useful instrument to benefit staff and students at the University of Kent, and also external people and organisations, in all areas related to cyber security: research, education, innovation, public engagement, outreach, and wider impacts. |

| Description | The funding has allowed the University of Kent to significantly grow its cyber security research, educational, innovation and wider impact generation activities, leading to the official establishment of the Institute of Cyber Security for Society (iCSS) in Jan 2021. iCSS has become the new platform for the Kent ACE-CSR to continue its future impact beyond the funding period after 2023, and it has also become a unique example of a successful university-wide and cross-disciplinary research institute. |

| Title | Cyber Securtiy Taxonomy |
| Description | As part of a research paper (https://doi.org/10.1145/3339252.3339282), we produced a data-driven general taxonomy to cover many different aspects of cyber security information online. The whole taxonomy has been released as open data and a website is set up to allow interactive visualisation of the taxonomy. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2020 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The taxonomy was just released a few weeks ago now, so its impact is still to be seen. We will disseminate it more widely and plan to add support to allow other researchers to co-evolve the taxonomy. The taxonomy is hosted on the website of Kent Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Cyber Security (KirCCS), EPSRC funded Kent ACE-CSR (EP/S018964/1), and will be maintained as part of core open data from KirCCS. |
