About Us

Accreditation

Lancaster University is recognised by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and EPSRC as an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR) and by the NCSC and DSIT as an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education (ACE-CSE). These designations reflect our critical mass of leading researchers and educators, our sustained investment in cyber capability, and our long track record of high-impact, socio-technical cyber security work. As one of only a small number of UK universities to hold both awards, we contribute nationally through research excellence, sector-leading educational programmes, and a clear commitment from senior leadership to expanding the UK’s cyber talent, knowledge, and resilience.

ACE-CSE Leads

The ACE-CSE is led by Professors Daniel Prince and Simon Cook, drawing on one of the UK’s strongest socio-technical cyber-security communities. We take pride in an interdisciplinary approach that integrates technical excellence with behavioural, organisational and policy insight to address real-world security challenges.
