The innovative Digital Infrastructure Defence (i-DID) focuses on cyber security and cyber threat intelligence for Internet-enabled cyber-physical systems.
Our goal is to develop cyberattack detection and mitigation methods formulated by practical data-driven solutions that collect, analyse and share insightful threat intelligence related to an adversary’s tactics and procedures, system exploits, vulnerability risks and attack propagation. We place strong emphasis on composing algorithmic and system mechanisms that consider both the internal and external state of a digital networked infrastructure by assessing local and Internet-wide measurements in synergy with device and system-level information.
The iDID group addresses pragmatic industrial requirements using applied research methods and operates in close collaboration with the Cyber Threat Lab, the ICS Lab and Energy Lancaster Institute.
