Prof. Helge Janicke is an expert on cyber security and cyber resilience in cyber physical systems and their application in critical national infrastructures. Helge’s research is considering the risks arising from comparatively slow evolution of critical infrastructures and the interplay of modern control systems approaches and legacy systems present in critical infrastructures. His research is considering the use of AI and IoT deployment in particular in energy and transport systems, where traditional resilience considerations are complicated by multiple layers of control through consumer-owner ship, ongoing manufacturer and vendor support for e.g. predictive maintenance and state’s considerations of national security ECU | Research themes : Centre for Securing Digital Futures : School Centres : Research : Science : Schools
