Research involves


Developing cybersecurity tools and techniques for the increasingly data-intensive and insecure cyberspace.

Research relevance


This research will lead to new techniques that support intelligence-driven solutions and help detect malicious threats and cyber criminal activities.

Research summary


Governments around the world recognize the benefits of a connected digital economy, but they also understand that malicious actors seeking access to personal and financial information pose security threats. To ensure Canada’s future prosperity and economic stability, we need a robust cybersecurity sector.

Dr. Aliakbar Ghorbani, Canada Research Chair in Cybersecurity, is developing solutions to address this evolving threat and secure data-intensive cyber-infrastructures by combining cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI). He and his research team are developing techniques that will enable security application developers who use AI to build solutions that will help detect and triage attacks and criminal cyber activities before they can cause harm.
