An increasingly digital society requires constantly evolving cybersecurity technologies to protect its people, infrastructure, supply chains, personal data, and networks. Researchers in this area focus on developing secure systems, which are needed during periods of attack and reduced latency, and on augmenting digital resilience and interoperability.
I-CPIE researchers working in Cyber Security focus on the use of sensors, artificial intelligence, data integrity, advances in communications systems, and human-centric cybersecurity. Systems involved include structural systems such as tech-enabled buildings that will ensure continued reliable functioning. Researchers within this thrust leverage an interdisciplinary approach to building and monitoring infrastructures to increase security and structural integrity, and to keep data and databases secure.
Research areas include:
- Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution systems
- Natural gas and gas-electric networks
- Smart building controls
- Smart cities
- Self-driving automobiles and drones
- Infrastructure monitoring systems
- Advanced communications systems
