About Us

CyberUnite is a collaborative cybersecurity research initiative focused on securing cyber-physical systems and critical infrastructure.

Co-led by Professor Donna O’Shea of the University of Limerick’s School of Engineering and Dr. Kieran McLaughlin of Queen’s University Belfast’s Centre for Secure Information Technologies (CSIT), the project represents the first dedicated funding awarded by an Irish government agency to support cross-border collaborative research in cybersecurity.

CyberUnite brings together expertise in artificial intelligence, systems security, and critical infrastructure protection to develop secure, trustworthy, and resilient solutions for modern cyber-physical environments, leveraging advanced threat detection, Zero Trust principles, and cyber-digital twin technologies to enhance system security and reliability.
