Description
Vattenfall is seeking students to work on a thesis project involving generative AI for scenario and injection design in IT/OT cybersecurity exercises. The project aims to investigate how generative AI can support the design and adaptive facilitation of IT/OT cybersecurity exercises. The thesis will follow a qualitative approach, focusing on the development of a conceptual framework and workflow specification for AI-assisted exercise design.
The scope of the project includes:
- Developing an academic framework for generative AI-assisted scenarios and injection design;
- Creating a small library of reviewed example artifacts demonstrating the framework;
- Documenting a workflow covering source preparation, scenario generation, state tracking, adaptive inject selection, human approval, and debrief support;
- Building a limited demonstrator or simulation showing how participant decisions can change subsequent injects and scenario outcomes;
- Analyzing expert feedback on risk factors and potential adoption issues.
Requirements for the students include:
- Education in Computer Science or Software Engineering;
- Fluency in written and spoken English;
- Availability to start the project on 2027-01-11 or by agreement.
The project is expected to last for 30 credits (M.Sc Level).
