Welcome to the Secure Systems Demo Day 2026!
Secure Systems Demo Day is organized by the Secure Systems research groups at Aalto University and the University of Helsinki in collaboration with the 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. 2026 event will be organized in conjunction with NordSecMob & SECCLO Alumni event and we look forward to seeing many of our previous students and wonderful reunions.
New in 2026: Crypto seminar to present research advances in the field to a broader audience. Seminar will run parallel to the poster session, each talk starting on the hour.
Over the past decade, Secure Systems Demo Days have become an essential gathering for security experts who return annually to reconnect with peers and meet new graduates entering the cybersecurity field.
Additionally, the Demo Day offers an excellent platform for students and researchers to explore job opportunities within the local information security industry and academia. Typically 8-10 companies participate our event, each hosting a company desk to promote internships and thesis positions. If you are interested in hosting a company desk, please contact our coordinator Niina Idänheimo for more details.
Secure Systems Demo Day is a public event and free of charge. However, we kindly ask to you register to receive a calendar invitation and the event updates.
We look forward to seeing you at the event!
