Company description

CyberOwl is a cybersecurity company commercialising Coventry's patent pending research into early warning of cyber attacks in extremely large scale environments such as the Internet of Things and Smart Cities. It is based on the research of Dr Siraj Shaikh (Coventry University) and was founded by Dr Shaikh and Tom Ilube (of Crossword Cybersecurity) both of whom collaborated with the External Champion (including in the November 2015 workshop on Innovation Challenges in Cybersecurity).
