The Centre supports the implementation of the National Cyber Security Strategy across defence. This involves research into the evolution of cyberspace and its influence on human behaviour.
The Cyber & Influence Centre will fulfil its role by:
- Ensuring a deep understanding of the strategic and technical demands of MOD.
- Fulfilling capability requirements through stretching, applied targets in the Physical, Information and Human Sciences.
- Developing a UK-wide enterprise capability in Cyber & Influence tools and techniques.
- Providing advice and contributions to meet the rapidly evolving operational needs.

Cooperation across Government, Industry and Academia
The Cyber & Influence Centre will draw together the UK’s leading researchers through trusted membership of Information Exchanges that will provide the opportunity for collaborating and exchanging across the wider UK Cyber and Influence activities. This will also include attachments and secondments of personnel from industry and academia to elements of the Centre programme that must be delivered within government.
Proposals for Cyber and Influence research can be submitted through the Centre for Defence Enterprise. For more general Cyber and Influence enquiries please contact: candicdtenquiries@dstl.gov.uk
