System Security

The mission of the System Security research group (S2G) is to ensure that systems in our society are resilient against cyber-attacks and fulfil essential security and privacy requirements. The Systems that we focus our research on go beyond the classic ICT perspective and include societal, economical and human factors.

Research objectives

Develop models, methods, techniques and tools that can be used for:

  • building secure systems
  • evaluating and assessing the security level of systems
  • enhancing the security of systems
  • training and educating users and organizations to understand and apply security methods and adversarial thinking

The research activities of our group are both theoretical as well as application oriented, and are conducted in areas such as secure software development lifecycle, security assurance and maturity modeling, vulnerability, threat and risk analysis, DevOps security, modeling and verification of security protocols, model-driven security, and human aspects of security.
