Institute of System Security

Welcome to the website of the Insitute of System Security at Technische Universität Braunschweig.

Our research revolves around the security of computer systems. We are developing novel methods for protecting computers from attacks, understanding malicious code and finding vulnerabilities in software. A special focus of our research is the combination of machine learning and computer security, which enables us to construct intelligent systems that adapt to changing threats.

Open Position!

We are looking to fill the position of a PhD Student (Doktorand*in) working on the intersection of computer security and artificial intelligence. The position is fully funded. More details are available here.
