Funding & collaboration
Projects of MATRIS Science Lab. Many joint projects run organisationally as two projects, one at each institution, so each card lists how the project is set up at the University of Salzburg and at FH Salzburg.
Joint Professorship in Cybersecurity (Brückenprofessur CyberSecurity)
The flagship and structural core of MATRIS Science Lab. The professorship links fundamental research at the University of Salzburg with applied research at FH Salzburg. It is endowed by the State of Salzburg.
Runs as
Advancing Critical Infrastructure Resilience to Cyber Attacks and Natural Hazards
Hybrid threats against critical infrastructure arise when natural hazards and cyber attacks combine. AURELIA brings discrete-mathematical modelling and combinatorial security testing together with geospatial analytics and remote sensing, and studies how timed cyber attacks and natural hazards interact in power grids. AURELIA is the roadmap to the lab's future projects, with a focus on the federal state of Salzburg.
Runs as
Algorithms and Foundations of Combinatorial Testing
Fundamental research on the algorithms and the combinatorial foundations behind combinatorial testing.
Runs as
MATRIS Knowledge Transfer for Cybersecurity to UNI-IIS Initiative
Subproject of the Austria-wide initiative for information and IT security at universities (UNI-IIS KP2), led at the University of Salzburg by its IT Services. The MATRIS subproject at the Department of Computer Science focuses on awareness and training: practical cybersecurity courses, training programmes and workshops across universities, for target groups ranging from security experts and IT staff to end users. The aim is to strengthen awareness of IT-security processes and topics.
Runs as
Modern Complex Systems: Testing, Assurance and Challenges
University of Salzburg micro-credential on testing and assurance of modern complex systems.
Runs as
Project led by Bernhard Garn on experiencing and engaging with applications of discrete mathematics in cybersecurity and resilience.
Runs as
Postdoctoral positions in cybersecurity
Postdoctoral positions in the context of the joint professorship in cybersecurity, one at each institution.
Runs as
Research and Transfer Centre for Data-Based Evaluation of Security and Privacy Technologies
Research and transfer centre for cybersecurity of FH Salzburg and the University of Salzburg, evaluating security and privacy technologies on the basis of data. Topics: security protection, AI systems, privacy technologies, attack scenarios and data protection.
