The Centre for Cybercrime and Computer Security at Newcastle University carries out research and provides education to make the Internet safer for families, businesses and organisations. The CCCS team brings together police officers and research scientists to identify future modes of cybercrime and to design innovative, sustainable solutions.

CCCS provides training for parents through its SAFER Internet programme, and offers various university courses. Its researchers invent new technologies to protect against various forms of cybercrime. CCCS holds various events each year to reach out to families and businesses, including the CCCS launch on EU Safer Internet Day February 9&10, 2010.

CCCS is focused on the needs of our local business and residential community, making the digital economy safer for all. CCCS is supported in this objective by the North East Fraud Forum NEFF.
