Cyber Security

Our high-level expertise includes organising cyber exercises, comprehensive research and development cooperation, as well as high‑quality, up‑to‑date training and education. We are also a founding member of the Finnish Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (FICEC) network, together with the University of Jyväskylä.

JYVSECTEC (Jyväskylä Security Technology) is a cyber security research, development and training centre located at Jamk's Institute of Information Technology. JYVSECTEC’s unique RGCE (Realistic Global Cyber Environment) cyber range, isolated from the internet, is the cornerstone of our cyber security activities. The environment has been mentioned in the implementation programmes of Finland's National Cyber Security Strategy as a responsible implementer of cyber exercises.

Our multidisciplinary expert network specializing in cyber security covers areas such as cyber security controls, protecting organizational environments, cyber incident management, incident response activities, security testing, threat modeling, applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to cyber security, and other IT infrastructure systems and architectures.

We have strong experience in implementing national and international projects over several years. Cyber security threats and the means to protect against them are at the centre of the cyber security research we apply. Research is carried out from a number of perspectives and considering the needs of various sectors. Of additional interest is the development of comprehensive preparedness of organisations and/or sectors against digital threats.

We are striving to strengthen our position by increasing international project activities in trans-European projects. Global cooperation and networking with operators in the field is one of our objectives.
