HM Government licensing cyber security tech for a global market
完整原文
<div class="govspeak"><h2 id="background">Background </h2> <p>The National Cyber Security Centre (<abbr title="The National Cyber Security Centre">NCSC</abbr>), a part of The Government Communications Headquarters (<abbr title="Government Communications Headquarters">GCHQ</abbr>), is the UK’s National Technical Authority on cyber security. It works round the clock to combat cyber threats, support victims of cyber incidents, empowers organisations to protect the online services and digital technologies that underpin the UK economy and public services. </p> <p>As modern computer monitors become increasingly ’smart‘, digital video connections can be exploited to compromise laptops and other connected devices. This risk is particularly acute in environments where devices of differing trust levels connect to shared monitors, including secure government facilities, hybrid office working, and home working set‑ups. </p> <p>SilentGlass was developed within the <abbr title="The National Cyber Security Centre">NCSC</abbr> to address this challenge, providing a simple and effective way to prevent video connections being used as a route for cyber-attack. </p> <h2 id="knowledgeasset-solution">Knowledge Asset solution </h2> <p>SilentGlass is a small, ’plug-and-play’ hardware device that sits between a laptop and a monitor, preventing the physical connection from being used as a route to compromise either device. By removing this attack pathway, it helps organisations improve cyber security while supporting safer flexible and hot‑desking arrangements. </p> <p>The technology was originally developed for internal government use, but has since demonstrated clear potential for wider adoption across the public sector, critical national infrastructure and the private sector. </p> <p>To bring the technology to market while maintaining strong governance and security considerations, the <abbr title="The National Cyber Security Centre">NCSC</abbr> pursued a licensing‑based commercialisation route. </p> <h2 id="who-will-this-help">Who will this help? </h2> <p>SilentGlass supports organisations that need high‑assurance protections for connected devices, including: </p> <ul> <li> <p>government departments and public sector bodies </p> </li> <li> <p>organisations operating critical national infrastructure </p> </li> <li> <p>businesses with high cyber security requirements </p> </li> <li> <p>employers enabling flexible and hybrid working </p> </li> </ul> <p>For the public sector, the case demonstrates how a government‑developed cyber security capability can be commercialised, supporting wider adoption while protecting intellectual property and ensuring greater public benefit. </p> <h2 id="gotts-role"> <abbr title="The Government Office for Technology Transfer">GOTT</abbr>’s role </h2> <p>The Government Office for Technology Transfer (<abbr title="The Government Office for Technology Transfer">GOTT</abbr>) supported the <abbr title="The National Cyber Security Centre">NCSC</abbr> to shape the commercialisation of SilentGlass by: </p> <ul> <li> <p>advising on appropriate intellectual property licensing strategies </p> </li> <li> <p>providing funding and mentoring for a local Knowledge Asset manager to build commercialisation capability </p> </li> <li> <p>facilitating access to the Tech Transfer ecosystem, including connections to experts in public sector investment and licence management </p> </li> <li> <p>Championing and supporting the licensing approach across HM Government </p> </li> </ul> <p>This support helped the <abbr title="The National Cyber Security Centre">NCSC</abbr> navigate the commercialisation process, engage effectively with the market and secure a suitable licensing partner through a fair and competitive process. </p> <h2 id="outcome">Outcome </h2> <p>Following a competitive process, a global <abbr title="Intellectual property">IP</abbr> licence for SilentGlass has been agreed with a UK‑based company, Goldilock Labs. The device is now available globally. </p> <p>The licensed product will enable wider access to a high‑assurance cyber security solution originally developed for government use, supporting safer deployment of digital technologies and helping share the benefits of public sector innovation more widely across the UK and globally. </p> <blockquote> <p class="last-child">By helping to launch a UK company onto the global market with this world-class innovation, we are breaking new ground, showing the impact that the <abbr title="The National Cyber Security Centre">NCSC</abbr> can have, alongside industry partners, with an affordable and effective product now globally available. <abbr title="The Government Office for Technology Transfer">GOTT</abbr>’s expertise and encouragement of UK HMG departments to seek greater value from their intellectual property (<abbr title="Intellectual property">IP</abbr>) was instrumental in our confidence to commercialise SilentGlass. We’ll continue working together off the back of this success to commercialise more of our unique <abbr title="Intellectual property">IP</abbr> to benefit our mission and the UK’s prosperity.</p> </blockquote> <p>Ollie Whitehouse, <abbr title="The National Cyber Security Centre">NCSC</abbr> Chief Technology Officer</p> </div>
归纳
英国政府正在推进一项计划，通过许可制度向全球市场推广其网络安全技术。该举措旨在促进英国网络安全创新成果的海外应用，同时确保技术出口符合国家安全和贸易标准。政府将建立框架，评估和授权相关技术，以支持国内企业发展国际业务，并增强英国在全球网络安全领域的影响力。
