The cybersecurity lab offers facilities that are tailored for teaching cybersecurity in undergraduate and professional training programs.

The scientific scope of the graduate school CUGS at the Department of Computer and Information Science at 91ÊÓƵ includes central parts of core computer science and computer engineering.

The project wants to understand the social construction and organisation of digital responsibility of digitally active companies.

The division Database and Information Techniques is part of the Department of Computer and Information Science. The division consists of several research groups, each of which has its own research profile.

The Security and Networks Group focuses on getting the right information to the right people at the right time. Information security is an important part of this aim: for a system to be trusted, it must also be secure.

The new cybersecurity lab is a milestone in 91ÊÓƵ´s investment in education in this field. The students should feel that "wow, it's possible to do something exciting here", said Vice-Rector Matts Karlsson at the inauguration on 7 May.

Today’s society rests on cyber security and the ability to be one step ahead of hackers. In recent years, a new threat has emerged – AI. However, according to researchers Elisa Bertino and Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, AI could also be part of the solution.

It started as an extra assignment for four researchers and grew into a cutting-edge company in medical IT and cybersecurity. Follow Sectra’s journey from its roots at LiU to the global business it is today.

Onur Günlü at the Division of Information Coding is awarded an Industrial Ph.D. grant by the SSF together with Professor Jan-Åke Larsson and Sectra Communications AB to tackle the grand challenge of post-quantum cryptography transition.

The race between hackers trying to crack systems vital to the functioning of society and cybersecurity experts is constantly ongoing. LiU-researchers will now develop AI that can detect hacker attacks and take action before any damage is done.
