PRESS RELEASE
CROSSWORD SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH COVENTRY UNIVERSITY TO EXPLORE COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES IN TARGET-CENTRIC
NETWORK MONITORING
Crossword Cybersecurity Plc ("Crossword") the ISDX listed tech transfer company, is to partner with
Coventry University to jointly explore commercial opportunities leveraging research conducted at Coventry
into target centric network monitoring in cyberspace.
Dr Siraj Ahmed Shaikh, Reader in Cyber Security at Coventry University and his team has conducted extensive
research in the area of threat attribution and monitoring using advanced Bayesian analytics. The approach
taken provides a highly effective early warning system when networks are under threat and are widely
applicable, particularly in detecting and responding rapidly to insider threats and advanced evasion
techniques. Crossword is working exclusively with Dr Shaikh's team to develop their work into a highly
scalable platform to meet today's cyber security challenges.
Tom Ilube, Crossword's CEO said "Coventry's research is extremely compelling and we believe it will enable
companies to react to time sensitive cyber incidents in a more efficient and cost effective way. Coventry's
applied research into Bayesian inference allows us to bring this exciting area of analysis into the cyber
domain"
"We are delighted to be working with Crossword Cybersecurity on this exciting venture. Our research has the
potential to significantly enhance early estimation of threat indicators for cyber defence, national
security and critical infrastructure protection where defences rely on sensing. Working with Crossword
would mean effective access to the market with the right product." commented Dr Siraj Shaikh, Reader in
Cyber Security at Coventry University.
The Directors accept responsibility for this statement.
