For the third time, Security Link organized TAMSEC-Technology and Methodology for Security and Crisis Management, in conjunction with Mötesplats Samhällsäkerhet, 28-29 November at Kistamässan. The goal of TAMSEC is to create a meeting place where academia, institutes, government and industry discuss new research in technology and methodology for security and crisis management.
The TAMSEC conference program started on Tuesday morning with representatives from VINNOVA and FOI presenting the 2018 calls within Horizon 2020 – Secure Societies. On Wednesday morning, Svenja Stövén from the European CBRNE Center in Umeå presented the Safety and Security Test Arena, in which rescue authorities collaborates with companies and researchers to develop solutions for optimal collaboration at accident and injury sites.
TAMSEC also offered two seminars linked to the conference program of Mötesplats Samhällsäkerhet. Per Jonson, FOI presented techniques to ensure the quality of our drinking water, such as the electrical tongue that currently is being tested in Swedish water purification plants. TAMSEC also followed up on the seminars on IT/cyber security at Mötesplats Samhällsäkerhet with a discussion led by Panos Papadimitratos, KTH, and Erik G. Larsson, Linköping University on opportunities and risks with Internet-of-things and how technology affects personal integrity.
During both days, researchers presented and discussed their research projects in the poster exhibition with topics spanning over early warnings of imbalances in the power grid to weaknesses in 5G technology and how to locate victims in collapsed buildings based on sensor fusion. Researchers Olle Abrahamsson and Erik G Larsson from Linköping University were awarded with the prize of “TAMSEC 2017 Best Poster” for their contribution “Hide and Seek in a Social Network”.
All contributions presented in the poster exhibition can be found here .
Opportunity to registrate for a PhD-course “The incident site of tomorrow”.

Introduktion till responssystem
Efter genomgången kurs skall den studerande ha kunskap om vad som utgör ett responssystem med fokus på svenska förhållanden, vidare ha översiktlig kunskap om responssystem i ett internationellt perspektiv och om den forskning som finns på området.
Responssystem är ett vitt begrepp som innefattat de personer, de organisationer, de metoder och den teknik som är involverad i responsen (räddningsinsats) på en olycka, extraordinär händelse eller kris. Responssystem kommer att belysas från olika perspektiv där fokus ligger t e x på aktörer, organisationer, systemsamband, räddningsinsatser och dess utvärdering, samt teknikstöd. Den huvudsakliga domänen kommer att vara olyckor (d v s frekvent återkommande händelser som inte stör samhällets rutiner eller infrastruktur).
Inga förkunskaper krävs
Kursen vänder sig till samtliga doktorander inom domäner som responssystem, säkerhetsforskning och resiliens, t ex inom forskarskolan Forum Securitatis och är även öppen för andra doktorander som finner den intressant. Kurser är obligatorisk för doktorander verksamma inom CARER.
Kursen inleds med en övergripande föreläsning om området responssystem ur ett inkluderande definitioner av responssystem, räddningsinsatser, olyckor, och så vidare. Det svenska responssystemet beskrivs utifrån ett antal scenarier med fokus på ingående aktörer, arbetssätt, ansvarsfördelning och utmaningar. Följande kursmoment varvar föreläsningar och seminarier enligt kurstillfällen nedan. Till seminarierna förväntas kursdeltagare ha läst material enligt lista och kunna diskutera detta material. Dessutom ska doktoranderna delta på minst en praktisk övning med en svensk räddningsorganisation, se Kurstillfälle 4.
Kursen examineras i relation till varje moment vilket innebär att en mindre uppgift lämnas in till respektive föreläsare efter aktuellt moment. Det kan exempelvis vara en reflektion övermomentet relaterat till eget doktorandprojekt. På övningen krävs endast deltagande.
Kursen beräknas löpa vecka 15-20 med ett till två undervisningspass per vecka. Fördjupningsuppgift lämnas in efter respektive moment där slutdatum sätts av aktuell föreläsare/moment ansvarig.
Kursen ges på svenska.
TBD
För examinations krävs aktivt deltagande samt godkända examinationsuppgifter efter varje moment. Examinator för respektive moment är respektive momentledare. Examinator för hela kursen är Sofie Pilemalm.

Interview in Swedish Radio (in Swedish) with Security Link researcher Peter Stenumgaard from FOI about security in societal information systems.
http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=83&artikel=6827064
Illegal IT intrusions have in recent years become an increasingly common problem for Swedish companies, authorities and organizations. The IT systems must be resilient and the rising costs for this line of defense can no longer be ignored. Recently, FOI-the Swedish Defense Research Agency, organized a simulated exercise around a scenario where a Swedish nuclear power plant was under a hacker attack.
According to David Lindahl at FOI, who is an expert on cyber attacks, many Swedish organizations do not surveil their own networks, and hackers have been known to be in systems for months before detection. There is a need to improve the design of the IT systems so that security is taken into account already in the early stages during systems development.
