    Our mission

    We focus on building secure and resilient systems through five core areas of research:

    Vulnerability detection in critical infrastructure

    Identifying weaknesses in essential services and developing effective countermeasures.

    Automation of security operations

    Streamlining workflows in security operations centres (SOCs) and cyber defence teams.

    Mission-critical IoT resilience

    Hardening and improving the reliability of networks that support vital connected devices.

    Cyber threat intelligence

    Gathering and analysing large volumes of threat data to anticipate and counter attacks.

    Human-driven attack prevention

    Addressing insider threats and other people-based risks that technology alone cannot solve
