  • The researcher who wants to detect cyberattacks in time

    Most organisations have a complex IT environment, one that can also be vulnerable to attack. But testing an environment in the real world is both resource-intensive and expensive. Mathias Ekstedt, professor at the Department of Network and Systems Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, has devoted his research to building environments, known as digital twins, where attack simulations are performed. "By modelling system configurations, we can then generate possible attack paths. We can also do analyses that identify the easy ways to get into the system environment," he says.
