How can cyber-physical systems and critical infrastructure be secured against evolving cyber threats and disruptions? CyberUnite addresses this challenge by bringing together interdisciplinary expertise across artificial intelligence, systems security, and networked infrastructure to develop advanced cybersecurity solutions. Our research focuses on explainable threat detection, Zero Trust enforcement, secure system foundations, and cyber-digital twin environments, enabling real-time insights, resilient system operation, and proactive defence against sophisticated attacks. Through this integrated approach, CyberUnite aims to strengthen the security, reliability, and trustworthiness of the systems that underpin modern society.
