Description

DCMS and its stakeholders support the creation of a growing, innovative and thriving cyber security sector in the UK in order to create an ecosystem where:
• security companies prosper, and get the investment they need to grow;
• the best minds from government, academia and the private sector collaborate closely to spur innovation; and
• customers of the Government and industry are sufficiently confident and prepared to adopt cutting-edge services. DCMS and its stakeholders support the creation of a growing, innovative and thriving cyber
security sector in the UK in order to create an ecosystem where:
• security companies prosper, and get the investment they need to grow;
• the best minds from government, academia and the private sector collaborate closely to spur innovation; and
• customers of the Government and industry are sufficiently confident and prepared to adopt cutting-edge services.

As part of this objective, DCMS wants to provide an informative and effective online hub for industry, government and academia. The hub should facilitate cyber business, enable collaboration and ensure that users are aware of opportunities across the sector. The Cyber
Exchange is an existing website that goes some way to fulfil this requirement.

This Discovery piece of work aims to establish what the existing user need is and whether it is being met by the Cyber Exchange. The output of the discovery should be a clear understanding of who the users are, what DCMS can do to support them better via an online
hub and how DCMS can ensure ongoing use of such a hub.
