The Cybersecurity Lab is part of the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Canterbury. The lab carries out research in the area of cybersecurity and dependability. Our focus is on exploring innovative strategies and developing cutting-edge technologies to safeguard against cyberattacks.
If you are interested in Cybersecurity and Dependability and are looking for a supervisor for your Ph.D., Masters, or Honours study, please contact Mengmeng Ge and Etienne Borde. We also seek motivated undergraduate students who want to do research in the cybersecurity area.
