Workplace 

The FBK Cyber Security Centre (CS) develops digital technology and cyber security to foster collaboration between the various stakeholders through a combination of IT risk management techniques (in order to develop highly innovative security solutions that will mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of attacks) as well as trust management techniques (to improve the interaction between people and technology). As part of the FBK mission, which aims to achieve results of scientific excellence and to produce an impact on society, the Centre's mission is to make these techniques available to the largest number of organizations, including SMEs, which account for a substantial part of the EU economy but lack cybersecurity expertise. To this end, integrating automated cyber risk assessment support with trust management that will have the ability to produce operational suggestions to assist ICT solutions designers, developers and administrators in their daily activities is critical.

The Robust and Secure Distributed Computing (RiSING) research unit, part of the FBK Cyber Security Center (CS), has a long term collaboration with a multinational technology company for the development of control applications for fiber-based transport networks. Such collaboration has led, over the past years, to successful deployments and technology transfer activities.

FBK actively seeks diversity and inclusion in the workplace and is also committed to promoting gender equality.
