ogies to solve security and privacy issues,
support to regulator/regulated entities to
comply with new and multiple regulations
(risk management, compliance, data analytics). Such research activities are supported by
private and public partners, FNR CORE/INTER,
EU Horizon 2020 and Erasmus +, Connecting
Europe Facility (CEF), Luxembourg’s RDI Law,
as well as in collaboration with industrial
partners. In addition, researchers are involved
in academic training, providing lectures in
cybersecurity at Master level (University of
Luxembourg, University of Lorraine, etc.) as
well as in professional training.
The IT for Innovative Services (ITIS) department of the Luxembourg Institute of Science
and Technology (LIST) combines both scientific and applied research activities with some
120 skilled engineers and highly qualified
researchers. Within ITIS, the team involved in
cybersecurity has a focus on data privacy and
security, cyber system security and information security management. It comprises 10
researchers with a well-balanced mix of engineers, researchers holding a PhD as well as
collaborators working on their PhD projects.
On the scientific side, the team focuses on
modelling, designing, and analysing new algorithms, protocols, and systems for cyber-resilience. The research activities are mainly supported by funding from the FNR CORE/INTER
and EU Horizon 2020 programmes.
The previously mentioned research activities of ITIS contribute to the whole National
Cybersecurity Strategy. However, there is currently a particular focus on Guideline n°2 of
the National Cybersecurity Strategy on Digital
Infrastructure Protection. Nevertheless, others are addressed as well, in line with objectives such as creation of new products and
services, risk management, training, etc.
On the applied side, the research focuses
on practical cybersecurity challenges, e.g.
application and development of crypto tools
and privacy preserving technologies, design
and implementation of blockchain technol-
