His research has raised great interest from both media and industry, putting KTH and EECS on the map of Cyber Security - a strategically important area. Pontus Johnson also holds a central position in the forming of KTH’s new research center in Cyber defense and Information security which is carried out in cooperation with the Swedish Armed Forces."
