Cybersecurity

cyber theme
Securing connected systems

Cybersecurity research seeks to address the enabling keystone technologies that ensure the security of connected systems.

In the future of smart cities, secure connected infrastructure will be of critical importance. In the next 5-10 years, the cybersecurity theme seeks to develop secure technologies and solutions for all levels of infrastructure, from secure devices, reliable & resilient connectivity, and secure virtual & dynamic networks to secure cyber-physical systems and secure cloud storage, computation and data analytics.  

Based on these technologies we will also target multi-disciplinary research challenges with colleagues at ECIT under the theme of “Secure Connected Intelligence” through the Belfast Region City Deal. Opportunities include privacy-preserving distributed analytics, intelligent authentication and fraud detection targeting the healthcare, advanced manufacturing and financial services sectors.
