Software Systems Architecture and Security

We, the Software Systems Architecture and Security (SSAS) group, do research and education with the purpose of helping organisations with cybersecurity challenges in these large complex system-of-systems.

Stock picture representing cyber security

We conduct theoretical as well as applied research combining architecture modeling (e.g. threat modeling and enterprise architecture modeling) of software systems with novel approaches in cybersecurity analysis, statistical modeling, and machine learning (for instance attack simulations). The results serves as decision support for engineers maintaining and designing software systems.

We also do penetration testing (ethical hacking) of various systems.
