KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world. Our research and education covers a wide area including natural sciences and all branches of engineering, as well as architecture, industrial management, urban planning, history and philosophy.
Third-cycle subject:Computer science
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by Pontus Johnson, KTH, Rolf Stadler, KTH, and Teodor Sommestad, FOI.
Society's critical infrastructure – the electric power system, telecommunications, water distribution, etc. – are to a large extent controlled by industrial IT systems. It is important to protect these systems from attacks from malicious actors. A Security Operations Centers (SOC), which collects large amounts of data generated by the industrial IT systems in order to detect, respond to, or to alert human operators of the presence of cyber attacks, may act as an important defense.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to in real-time detect cyber intrusions, to respond to security incidents, to hunt for threats in the environment and to gather threat intelligence. This presents a number of exciting research challenges for machine learning and more in general for artificial intelligence. The present doctoral project is part of a new research project between KTH and the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) aiming to develop a semi-autonomous SOC with the capability to plan for and respond to cyber attacks against industrial IT systems.
We are looking for motivated students who are eager to push the frontiers of machine learning and artificial intelligence for their application to SOC.
