We study attacks before
they become widespread.
The institute conducts applied research into the evolution of cyber threats — including scenarios involving artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure and automated hacking tools. The results become standards, checklists and solution prototypes.
What we work on
Analysis of attack tactics and techniques, building intruder models and forecasting attack vectors — including those using AI and automated hacking tools.
Methods for collecting and examining digital evidence, reconstructing incidents and restoring the timeline of an attack.
Assessing the readiness of digital systems for the threat of quantum computing and the transition to cryptography resistant to quantum analysis.
Using machine learning to detect anomalies and studying the risks of offensive AI — the generation of malicious code and phishing.
Open-source intelligence: methods for detecting leaks, mapping the attack surface and preparing for incidents before they occur.
Developing prototypes of protective solutions and testing them in the isolated environment of a cyber range on realistic scenarios.
Research focus
Research results feed the national cyber threat knowledge base — attack breakdowns and practical checklists for specialists.
Science without borders
The institute takes part in international scientific cooperation: the conference ICCSDFAI 2026 (IEEE, June 2026, Istanbul) brought together a consortium of 11 organisations, and the papers are indexed in IEEE. The results are published through the institute's scientific journal.
