About us

The activities within the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences are characterized by a creative and dynamic environment, including a highly collaborative atmosphere, modern facilities, and excellent interaction with the surrounding community.

Your role

Swedish organizations and companies today need to use a wide range of security controls to counteract disruptions and cyberattacks against their information and communication technology. However, the decision-making processes for determining which security controls are appropriate to invest in are limited by the assets and resources available, requiring prioritization to effectively manage various cybersecurity risks. The project's focus is on supporting Swedish organizations and companies to make financially sound decisions regarding the protection of their information and communication technology that is based on and adapted to their conditions. During your time as a Ph.D. student, you will play a central role in the project where you will, among others, research to:

• map cyber security economic models based on their characteristics, modeling variables and assumptions;

• empirically examine challenges when organizations and businesses adopt financial models for cybersecurity; and

We will also evaluate the candidates based on the following assessment criteria:

• Proficient in acquiring education at the doctoral level in informatics.
