The cyber-world can be a dark and dangerous place, full of silent yet raging malware, exfiltration, DDoS and botnet battles.

Join this exciting project and learn how to ‘use the force’ against real-world cyber-attacks.

Research goal

Throughout this project we will:

  • Explore the anatomy of various kinds of cyber-attacks

  • Collect data on attack patterns

  • Analyse the data to identify key attributes

  • Develop machines that are trained on these attributes

  • Use these machines to detect multiple types of cyber-attacks

  • Develop methods to deflect or blocks such attacks. 

You’ll gain cutting-edge skills in telecommunications, data analysis, machine learning, forensics, user interfaces and human psychology.
