Cyber Security
The modern world operates heavily on digital services and information. We provide real value to our customers, partners, and students by being at the forefront of technological development and accelerating preparedness for contemporary cyber threats.

We strengthen the credible and reliable image of strong Finnish cyber security expertise and promote the growth of impartial cyber security knowledge and related skills.
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.
Our top-level expertise includes organizing cyber exercises, comprehensive research and development cooperation, and high-quality and up-to-date training. We are a founding member of the nationwide Finnish Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (FICEC) network, together with the University of Jyväskylä, and we promote national and international networking among cyber security professionals.

Research and development in cyber security
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.
