Abstract

As digitisation increases globally, there is a growing range of different types of user required to have an understanding of the operational cybersecurity of digital systems – i.e., the ability to detect and respond to potential cyber attacks. This includes not only individual users of smartphones and computers, but also personnel in organisations from the growing range of sectors becoming digitised (e.g., transport, marine, energy, healthcare). New challenges are emerging in terms of how to enable parties to monitor the necessary information and make informed security decisions. This project seeks to identify the requirements of users in this area, and develop operational cybersecurity tools developed to this need. The project scope is broad, and the student may select particular sectors of interest, or particular approaches of interest such as cybersecurity visualizations or automated incident-response tools.
