The DS Computing CyberLab environment for information technology and network cybersecurity provides facilities for carrying out active cyberattack techniques, traffic analysis, searching for vulnerabilities, as well as testing the security of devices, software, applications and systems. The majority of the research are conducted in collaboration with companies and other research organisations. Knowhow has been gathered from national DIMECC and Business Finland funded national projects, H2020, ERC and EIT Digital Europe-wide projects and international research projects with NICT Japan and US-based cybersecurity projects affiliated with the National Science Foundation (NSF).
In the area of IoT, the DSC CyberLab facilitates research into wireless sensor networks, multiprocessor systems, and hardware-assisted security, applied cryptography and privacy research. Results are also applied into public cybersecurity advisories with CERT as well as network and security standardisation activities in the IETF and IRTF.
For maritime research and development the DSC Cyberlab facilities the design and experimentation for intelligent ship systems, secure communications and edge networks, cybersecurity incident reporting as well as operational optimizations for autonomous operations and harbour-based intelligence.
For network security, the DSC Cyberlab offers an environment to study identity and access management for wireless roaming, methods for security anomaly detection and actively monitors global real-time cybersecurity network threats with the NICTER network in collaboration with NICT Japan.
