Centre for Sustainable Cyber Security (CS2)
CS2 leads research into sustainable cyber security solutions working now and long term. We prioritise energy-efficiency, cost-efficiency, user acceptance and practicality of real-world adoption of novel cyber security technologies and best practices.
CS2 Projects
CS2 undertakes interdisciplinary research with experts in computer science (cyber risk, verification, forensics), engineering (IoT security), law (privacy and data protection), psychology (face and voice recognition) and business (cyber economics).

We believe that multiple expert perspectives are needed to develop cyber security solutions which are effective over the long term. CS2 is therefore fundamentally interdisciplinary and holistic in its approach to research.
We bring together experts in computer science (e.g., cyber risk, verification, forensics, network security), engineering (e.g., Internet of Things security), law (e.g., privacy, data protection and cyber crime), psychology (e.g., online harms, face and voice recognition), and business (e.g., cryptocurrencies, cyber investment).
Examples of recent highly interdisciplinary projects include:
- COCOON and CHAI, which link psychology and education with cyber security;
- CUREX and MERIT, which combine cyber security and economics;
- TRILLION, which combines law with social media and cyber security; and,
- EUNOMIA, in which AI and cyber security are informed by ethics and political science.
