This PhD “Human Centred XAI for Cyber Security for Enhanced Cyber Resilience (Cyber for Humans)” is funded by MTU supported by TU RISE funding. MTU designated research group Cyber Explore\'s mission to “securely blend the digital world with the physical world, protecting everyone and making systems more resilient to cyber-attacks by fostering skills, research and innovation”, sets the vision and informs the direction of this proposed research project. Aligned to this mission, designing explanations for Artificial Intelligence (AI) models that monitor, analyse and respond to cyber threats, anomalies and attacks in real time with the aim of making systems more resilient to cyber-attacks, is a major thematic area for Cyber Explore. Within this thematic area, one of the key challenges is how we design explanations that provide technical insights into the operation of the AI models but are also human centred, leading to greater intelligence and increasing end user acceptance and trust.Supervisors: Donna O\'Shea George O\'Mahony Dr Fred CreedonFunding: The scholarship funding is tax free and includes payment of University PhD fees (EU or non-EU) and a student stipend at a flat rate of €25,000 per annum which is tenable for 4 years.To Apply:Please send a single PDF file consisting of the following to info@cyberskills.ie with \'TU RISE PhD Application\' in the subject heading:1.   Resume/Curriculum Vitae (CV), including:o   Education Historyo   Relevant skillso   Research projects/publications2.  ]]> 2024-10-07T00:00:00+00:00 https://www.cyberskills.ie/explore/news/apply-now-fully-funded-phd-scholarship-in-cybersecurity-and-human-centred-ai.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8593562 False Studies,Technical None 2.0000000000000000 Cyber Skills - Podcast Cyber Check out UL Professor Tom Newe\'s insightful piece published in Silicon Republic. Tom is a Professor in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at University of Limerick, a project partner of Cyber Skills, sheds light on the pressing security challenges faced by legacy operational technology (OT) systems and the alarming rise in cyberattacks targeting industrial systems. In his article, Tom emphasizes the critical need for personnel skilled in OT security, highlighting the significant gap in experienced professionals in this rapidly growing area. As industries continue to integrate OT with IT networks-a process known as IT-OT convergence-the complexity of securing these environments increases, making specialized training and education programs more important than ever. Tom discusses how this paradigm is gradually shifting thanks to Irish Government initiatives like the Higher Education Authority Human Capital Initiative (HEA-HCI), which now provides 80% funding for cybersecurity courses at partner universities, MTU, UL and TUD. This funding empowers universities across Ireland to address industry skill gaps and develop comprehensive training programs. One such program is the Professional Diploma in OT Security, a collaboration between Graduate and Professional Studies at the University of Limerick and Cyber Skills. This course specifically targets the cybersecurity needs of integrated IT-OT systems. Participants have the opportunity to use advanced cyber range infrastructure, providing an on-site simulation solution to model both IT and OT environments.
