On Thursday the 15th October 2020, Awen Collective officially launched Dot in the UK.
Dot is an asset and vulnerability discovery software system which reduces cyber risk and increases cyber resiliency of Operational Technologies (those technologies which control our energy, water, transportation and manufacturing systems). For more information about Dot please visit our page on Dot, and/or contact us today.
The event also marked the end of a 12 month project (called Project DOMINO) with the UK Ministry of Defence, which saw the Dot product accelerated into use cases for the defence and security sectors. Dot is a commercial product developed by Awen Collective, a Welsh Cyber Security Software company. For more information about how our work applies to the defence sector please visit our page on the defence sector, and/or contact us today.
Project DOMINO was funded by the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) of MOD DSTL. Awen Collective was the lead partner on the project, with BAR Associates assisting. We released a press release about Project DOMINO at the end of 2019.
The demonstration event was hosted by Awen Collective, in collaboration with BAR Associates, Thales Cyber & Consulting and the National Digital Exploitation Centre (NDEC).
We had over 70 attendees from a range of organisations: the UK Ministry of Defence, other parts of UK Government, a few British industrial sector regulators, energy companies, water companies, defence sector companies, water sector companies, and other Friends of Awen.
