SIGS-CyberSec
SIGS-CyberSec is a Swedish Industrial Graduate School on Cybersecurity. The industrial graduate school consists of a consortium of Computer Science and Information Systems researchers from four Swedish universities: The coordinator Karlstad University, Blekinge Institute of Technology, the Swedish Defence University and Örebro University.
The consortium have for over more than two decades built up excellent and internationally leading research profiles and courses in different and complementing cybersecurity specialization areas. Together, and in co-production with 8 Swedish leading industrial partners, we can offer the broad range of research competences and skills for developing a multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary cybersecurity research network and industrial graduate school addressing cybersecurity challenges that the industrial partners are facing.
The university and industrial partners have a shared ambition of strengthening cybersecurity research excellence and skills in their organizations, as well as in Sweden as a whole, by developing and establishing an innovative, multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary cybersecurity research and training network.
In SIGS-CyberSec, the research field Cybersecurity is structured into the 3 research themes 'Decentralized Cybersecurity for future Networks' (T1), 'CyberSecurity, AI and Automation' (T2) and 'Information Security Management' (T3). The themes will be addressed by the projects' 8 industrial PhD students for advancing state of the art, and the curriculum to be developed will also train the PhD students especially in cybersecurity areas related to these themes.
