LIAT places Cybersecurity at the heart of its research activities, with a large number of researchers specializing in this field, as well as development projects, training courses for students and an experimental platform. The main challenges of cybersecurity are addressed in a number of research areas, such as the analysis of security protocols, software security, cryptography, data protection, computer network security, defence strategies against computer attacks, cyberinvestigations and cyberfrauds, cyber-security awareness, intrusion detection and the security of distributed systems.
LIAT-CySec Lab has developed a broad expertise for operational purpose, essential for the proper functioning of the digital economy while preserving privacy. It favors both the theoretical approach, in order to maintain a high level of academic excellence, and the practical aspects through prototypes and proof-of-concepts, inspired by real needs from the industry and the public sectors.
The main objective is to understand current cyber-attack techniques and anticipate tomorrow’s threats in order to develop the most appropriate surveillance, protection and defence methods. It is this expertise, rooted in a proactive research approach, that LIAT-CySec team members train students through pragmatic teaching and mentoring approaches. In addition to developing technical skills and talents, LIAT-CySec’s mission is to promote a culture of cybersecurity to a wider public.
We take a holistic approach for solving common cybersecurity challenges such as privacy, cyber-threats, and lack of security awareness among Internet users. We do this by bringing in a wealth of expertise in other areas such as artificial intelligence, data science, software engineering, and applied mathematics.
