Cybersecurity, digital public infrastructure and space systems
Some systems cascade through every sector when they fail: the networks and services attackers target, the identity and payment infrastructure that delivers public services at scale, and the satellites and ground segment that provide positioning, navigation, timing and communication.

Twin figures for West Cornwall: Goonhilly and the Porthcurno cable landings, counted from its layers at their stated dates.
For Department of Cyber, Digital and Space Systems: the faculty's twin of the Lizard and Penwith on the planet map, the globe and in 3D. Pick a generator, switch layers, run the instruments; every layer prints its provider and date.
Drag to move, right drag or Shift with a drag to turn and tilt, Ctrl with the wheel to zoom. Keyboard: arrows move, Shift with arrows turn and tilt, + and - zoom, 0 resets, V steps through the views, Escape clears.
Flat plan of the same data: relief as contours from the inline grid, the mapped ground infrastructure by kind, the mapped cables and the numbers below. The 3D twin opens on devices with WebGL once its data and library have been checked.
The map loads from this site as it nears the view (MapLibre 6.9.1, checked by hash).
The department's methods are threat modelling, cyber risk quantification with FAIR, vulnerability triage on dated catalogues such as the KEV snapshot on the twin, incident response under ISO/IEC 27035, resilience analysis of digital public infrastructure for inclusion and concentration, SGP4 orbit propagation, link and pass analysis from the Goonhilly dishes, and the reading of space weather indices against the services that depend on timing. A graduate can rank what to patch first from evidence, assess a public digital service for exclusion and concentration risk, and predict the passes a ground station can see from a published element set.
Department of Cyber, Digital and Space Systems is a department of Faculty of Technology and Digital Systems with 5 disciplines. 0 of the 2 courses with their primary discipline here are open for enrolment now; 2 are in preparation.
A mark is one primary course, filled when it is open.
