Organization profile

We are a team made up of students, young researchers and research professors interested in deepening the study of cybersecurity from two perspectives: an applied one that allows us to understand the current cyber risk scenarios in order to define timely protection mechanisms, and a fundamental one that allows us to propose innovative and disruptive improvements to cybersecurity challenges.

Objectives:

• To develop competencies for research in offensive and defensive security techniques offensive and defensive security techniques
• Identify vulnerabilities and breaches in information systems.
• Demonstrate vulnerability exploitation mechanisms
• Identify remediation or assurance mechanisms
• Build solutions for infrastructure assurance

Lines of research:

• Cryptography
• Software Security
• Network Security
• Operating System Security
• Critical Infrastructure Assurance
• Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity
• Security for Smart and Sustainable Cities
• Threat Intelligence
• Blockchain

Proposed activities for 2021-I:

• Understand the fundamentals of how blockchain works (Beyond Bitcoin!).
• Understand the concept of smartcontract and distributed applications.
• Identify the different types of blockchains and their usefulness
• Identify the most common attacks targeting a blockchain
• Explore smartcontract deployment platforms and create our first blockchain

Requirements to participate in the intersemester activities:

• For the development of the activities mentioned in numeral 4 it is established as a
• The student must have taken or be currently taking the subject Databases.
