The overall objective of the cybersecurity cluster is to contribute to the societal resilience through broad engagement with public and private companies as well as citizens by conducting high-quality multi-disciplinary research on the social and technological aspects of cybersecurity, and by actively partaking in societal discussions.
The research cluster addresses the following topics:
- Development and design of organizational cybersecurity management practices for secure digital transformation and understanding the implications of those practices at the individual, organizational, and societal level.
- Investigation of new methods and processes following socio-technical and human centric approaches to address challenges related to cybersecurity (emerging threats and vulnerabilities) arising from the digital transformation in business, industries, and critical services sectors.
- Study the factors behind strengthening organizational capabilities within the different phases of cybersecurity incident management, leading to efficient management of cyber incidents, stronger defenses against cyberattacks and guaranteed business continuity.
- Integration of innovation concepts to develop new methods for enhancing cyber situational awareness, SoC operations and cyber preparedness based on advanced training, capacity-building and development of tools for operational, tactical and strategic decision-making towards resilient organizations and societies.
To address these questions, we aim at multidisciplinary approaches and to utilize broadly scientific methods from both engineering and the social sciences.
