  • 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.

  • The researcher who puts his finger on anonymity and traffic analysis

    In the Western world, we take free and open communication for granted, and we may not think much about the fact that all the communication we do on the internet leaves traces behind. Traces that can be analysed even though the communication is encrypted. Tobias Pulls, senior lecturer and associate professor of computer science at Karlstad University, is the researcher who puts his finger on anonymity and traffic analysis. ”For me, it is important to make the technology more secure, then everyone will be safer and the technology can be used by everyone and even in countries that currently restrict their citizens’ communication,” he says.
