Cyber Security - WMG
Cyber Security Group
Securing the future
Vehicle control systems, building management systems, smart city infrastructure, industrial control, and medical devices all exist within the cyber domain. As our manufactured environment becomes increasingly dependent on digital systems, we conduct research into both the nature of the cyber environment and the protection of the human experience within it.
The Secure Cyber Systems Research Group (SCSRG), comprising over 25 researchers and practitioners, addresses contemporary challenges in security, privacy, trust, and resilience engineering for modern cyber systems. The group develops cutting-edge solutions to enhance the trustworthiness and resilience of these systems and cyberinfrastructures.
SCSGR demonstrates significant contributions in:
- Privacy-preserving and resilient operations
- Cyber effects modelling
- Trust-by-design integration in value chains
- Information accuracy and credibility in communicating trustworthiness.
- Markets and service ecosystem design of data exchanges and marketplaces
- Economic and business model design for transforming businesses
Centre of Excellence
WMG at the University of Warwick is recognised as an NCSC-EPSRC Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research. Professor Carsten Maple is the Principal Investigator for the ACE-CSR, which is based on the University’s Cyber Security Global Research Priority. The University has a long history of undertaking research in, what now falls under, cyber security. About our research
We offer world-class education programmes in cyber security and related disciplines aimed at current and future industry leaders, delivered on a full-time and part-time basis depending on the degree.
We deliver world-leading multi-disciplinary research, focusing on transformative and innovative solutions for governments, industry and society. We deliver this through research capabilities focusing on both the technical and the behavioural (culture, cognition, and communication) aspects of cyber security. Our research is underpinned by a variety of collaborative and individual projects which are funded by a variety of funding bodies and companies.The key themes of our research lie in four pillars of activity:
- Intelligent Transport Systems
- Future Cities
- Defence and Cyber Crime
- Systems and Society (including Digital Health)
IoTSETEC Laboratory
The IoT Operational Security Testing & Evaluation Centre (IoTSETEC) Laboratory was established to provide security and resilience assessments of embedded hardware and software. Ensuring robust security for the Internet of Things (IoT) poses a significant business challenge, requiring understanding and comprehensive assessment of numerous vectors. The laboratory is the first end-to-end security and resilience test lab for IoT and Cyber-Physical products and services in the UK.
