Digital säkerhet, cybersäkerhet, är en nödvändighet för en fungerande samhällskritisk infrastruktur, såsom elsystem, vattenrening, trafik och sjukvård. Detta blir speciellt tydligt då vi går mot en grön omställning av vårt samhälle, då just samhällskritiska funktioner måste fungera och digitalisering av samhällskritiska funktioner ökar, för att vi ska kunna effektivisera olika verksamheter. Och med det följer att cybersäkra lösningar är ett måste, så att samhället och dess medborgare inte drabbas av digitala intrång. I denna kurs kommer exempel tas upp från olika samhällskritiska funktioner, med fokus på elsystemet. Digitala lösningar kommer att behandlas, samt metoder och modeller för cybersäkra system. Innehåll Samhällskritiska system Sveriges och Nordens elsystem Styrning och övervakning av elsystem Analys av digitala lösningar för elsystem Informationssäkerhetsbegrepp: konfidentialitet, riktighet och tillgänglighet; spårbarhet. Internationell ISO/IEC standardisering Omvärldsanalys Kursens upplägg Allt sker digital på distans, genom Zoom/motsvarande. Föreläsningar – kommer inte att spelas in – varvas med seminarier där olika frågeställningar behandlas i dialog med deltagarna. Undervisningen sker på svenska.

Kursen behandlar metoder och verktyg för att stärka en cybersäker miljö, med fokus på samhällskritiska elinfrastrukturer. Vem vänder sig kursen till? Kursen vänder sig till dig som arbetar inom någon samhällskritisk funktion, såsom elbolag, trafikverk, vattenreningsverk eller sjukvårdssystem. Du ska ha en teknisk bakgrund, med kunskap om ditt område där du är verksam. 

This course is taught in Swedish. Get started with measuring and running a systematic sustainability program! This course is mainly aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises. Using concrete tools such as the Green Performance Map (GPM) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD), you will be supported in identifying relevant sustainability goals and translating them into metrics. The course shows how to integrate sustainability work into daily improvement work, how to create anchoring in the organization, and how psychological security, leadership and culture are key factors for long-term change. You will also gain insight into how metrics affect motivation, behavior and management - and how to balance between controlling and leading metrics.

Thiscourse is aimed at professionalsin the industry. The course coverstheory and practice concerningsoftware systems and information security, and the intersection between. Specifically, the courseconsidersconditions and activitiesthat impact the appropriate adoption, development, use, and IToperations of software systems, as well asthe appropriate management of digital assets with regard toidentified information security challenges. The course focuses on activitiescentral to understanding,planning and implementing proper controlsrelated to the use of software systemsto enable appropriateand secure management of digital assets.

The purpose of this course is to introduce security practices within the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) at the requirements, design, implementation, verification, and after release stages of software development. This course is the guide to the cybersecurity issues arising throughout the entire development process. We consider the development from the security perspective from the beginning stage until the final release and beyond. The course is adapted to give a solid introduction to non-security-experts mainly and addresses both how professionals (developers, managers, decision-makers) can utilize security to improve (software-based) products/services, and how they are affected by security issues and challenges. Whether you are a software developer in a bank or telecom company, or you are a product manager in a gaming company, this course will be relevant for you.

Why markets for electricity? How do they function? This introductory course explains how incentives shape outcomes in the electricity market. It brings out the implications for businesses and society of electricity pricing in the shadow of the energy transition. The course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the electricity market's role in ensuring an efficient electricity supply and addressing key public questions, such as What is the purpose of the electricity market? Why do electricity prices vary by location? How can electricity prices surge despite low production costs? Are there alternative ways to sell electricity? Why is international electricity trading important? The course emphasizes the role of economic incentives in shaping market behavior and addresses critical issues such as market power and its consequences. You will also explore the inefficiencies stemming from unpriced aspects of energy supply and the role of regulation in mitigating these inefficiencies. As the global push toward decarbonization accelerates, the course delves into the challenges posed by large-scale electrification, the implications of climate legislation for energy systems, and the impact of protectionist national policies. The course offers a comprehensive introduction to the electricity market, provides you with analytical tools for independent analysis and brings you to the forefront of current energy policy debate. The course will enable you to Describe the interaction between the electricity system and the electricity market. Explain how the electricity market can increase the efficiency of electricity supply, e.g. with respect to market integration. Show how market power reduces the efficiency of the electricity market. Categorize fundamental market imperfections and describe their solutions. Explain economic and political challenges associated with the green transition. Apply economic tools to analyze the electricity market and examine how changes to the electricity system and regulation affect market outcomes. Target group This course is designed for engineers and managers eager to enhance their understanding of electricity markets within the context of the industrial green energy transition. The purpose is to increase the understanding of the scope of the electricity market and its role in achieving efficient electricity supply. Digital seminars The course includes five scheduled digital seminars. The seminars will be recorded to provide flexibility in completing the course, although we highly recommend to participate in the seminars if possible.
