On 5. August, 2026 Merve Astekin, SINTEF presented the research paper “Context Guardian: LLM-Assisted Context-Aware Static Analysis for Vulnerability Detection” at the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Cyber Security and Resilience (IEEE CSR 2026), held in Lisbon, Portugal.
The paper was presented as part of the Robust Defense and Static Analysis technical session, bringing together researchers working on advanced approaches to software security and vulnerability analysis.
Participation in IEEE CSR 2026 provided an excellent opportunity for the SECASSURED consortium to engage with the international cybersecurity research community and exchange ideas on the latest developments in AI-assisted security, resilient software systems, and cyber defence. The conference brings together researchers and practitioners from around the world to present innovative solutions addressing current and emerging cybersecurity challenges.
Through contributions such as Context Guardian, SECASSURED continues to advance the state of the art in AI-powered cybersecurity, supporting Europe’s vision of secure, resilient and trustworthy digital infrastructures. The project remains committed to transforming cutting-edge research into practical security services that help organisations build and operate secure software systems with greater confidence.
