Secure Systems Demo Day 2024

Welcome to the Secure Systems Demo Day 2024!

Secure Systems Demo Day is organized by the Secure Systems research groups at Aalto University and University of Helsinki in collaboration with Helsinki-Aalto Institute for Cybersecurity (HAIC) to showcase our current research in information security and to seek valuable inputs from external visitors. The event brings together local academia, students and industry and gives an overview of on-going information security research in Finland’s capital area.

Demo day is an excellent opportunity for students and researchers to network and search for open positions within the local infosec industry and academia. If you are interested in advertising internship and/or thesis positions, please contact our coordinator Niina Idänheimo (niina.idanheimo@aalto.fi) for more information.

    • Cyber Citizen is a three-year project, with the aim of developing and enhancing the cyber security skills of all EU citizens. As part of this initiative, we’ve created an innovative and educational game: Cyber City Tycoon. This game seamlessly combines education and entertainment in a unique way. In the game, the player collaborates with cybercriminal robots to develop strategies and scams that one might encounter in real life. Not only is this game entertaining, but it also provides essential knowledge and lessons on how to navigate safely in the cyber world and steer clear of potential security threats.
