New DSIT survey on AI and software cyber security
The UK government wants to hear from cyber security businesses working with AI and secure software.
Survey to map the UK's AI and software cyber security services
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has commissioned research to map UK-based artificial intelligence (AI) and software cyber security services.
Earlier this year, DSIT and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) launched the AI Cyber Security Code of Practice and the Software Security Code of Practice. They also supported international efforts, through the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI), to establish a global standard for AI cyber security (EN 304 223).
The new survey aims to identify what services and tools are available to UK organisations, how they support the codes of practice and global standards, and how AI is currently used in cyber security. It should take no more than 20 minutes to complete.
The survey closes on 23 January 2026.
DSIT is interested in responses from UK cyber security businesses offering:
- AI cyber security services or tools
- secure software development tools (like testing, software composition analysis or other software security solutions)
Survey findings will be used to map the market for AI and software cyber security services, check how tools support government codes and standards, and shape future UK policy on secure AI and software.
You can complete the survey online, or request a call-back for more information.
