Information Systems Security

Modern society depends on well functioning, secure and safe information and communication systems. However knowledge to secure these systems is lagging behind the ongoing evolution of new techniques, new usages and new potential threats. The digitalized globally oriented world depends on continuous research to ensure that there are adequate and adaptable technical and non technical secure measures in place to address the security knowledge gap in information and communication systems.

Seclab’s mission is to advance theory and practice in computer and information security, for the benefit of society. Our approach is holistic and we shed light on the problems of security and risk from many different perspectives – e.g. technical, social, managerial, economic and legal. Our research is situated in a computer and systems science context, founded on General Systems Theory and Cybernetics, Living Systems theory and Soft Systems Methodology, and we also utilize reference disciplines such as sociology, pedagogy, psychology, jurisprudence, economics, mathematics etc. Our audience is composed of academics as well as of industrial and governmental organization and includes also professional bodies.
