SECASSURED Project Manager Phu Nguyen from SINTEF presented the project’s approach to continuous cybersecurity at the Norwegian Security Festival 2026, held from 24–26 August in Lillehammer.
The Norwegian Security Festival is a major meeting place for professionals working in cybersecurity, ICT security, data protection and information security. It provides a collaborative forum for exchanging knowledge, practical experience and perspectives on emerging security challenges.
During his presentation, Phu Nguyen discussed security orchestration for critical Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems. He shared insights from SECASSURED’s work on combining assurance-driven security engineering, federated Digital Twins and AI-powered security services.
The presentation addressed several closely connected areas:
- security orchestration for critical IoT and cyber-physical infrastructures;
- the integration of security into DevOps processes;
- adaptive, AI-supported development and operational practices;
- Digital Twin platforms as a foundation for data-driven security engineering; and
- assurance-driven AI-based security services covering both development and operation.
These topics reflect the central vision of SECASSURED: moving beyond isolated security controls towards continuous, adaptive and evidence-based assurance across the entire IoT–edge–cloud continuum. By linking security-by-design practices with Digital Twins, automated assessment and AI-supported services, SECASSURED aims to help organisations identify, evaluate and respond to security risks throughout the lifecycle of complex digital systems.
Participation in the festival also provided an opportunity to exchange experiences with members of the Norwegian cybersecurity community and explore current developments in security engineering, artificial intelligence and critical infrastructure protection.
