In short
This master's thesis project investigates the application of Generative AI to automate and improve the classification of enterprise information and IT assets for better security. The role involves designing and evaluating an AI-assisted prototype, comparing its recommendations with expert assessments to ensure accuracy and explainability.
Responsibilities
- Review relevant literature and current approaches for information classification, asset management, criticality assessment, and AI-assisted decision support.
- Study applicable security and business requirements and translate them into transparent classification criteria.
- Identify the asset attributes and contextual information needed for reliable classification.
- Design and implement a prototype that uses Generative AI to analyse structured and unstructured asset information and recommend classification levels.
- Provide traceable explanations for each recommendation and identify missing, conflicting, or low-confidence input that requires clarification.
- Create a representative, appropriately protected dataset and establish expert-reviewed reference classifications.
- Compare AI recommendations with expert assessments using various metrics.
- Analyse limitations, security and privacy risks, data-quality dependencies, and suitable human oversight for operational use.
Requirements
- Master’s-level studies in computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, data science, software engineering, or a related field.
- Understanding of information security, asset management, risk assessment, or data governance.
- Experience with Python and Large Language Models, prompt engineering, machine learning, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation.
- Ability to work with structured and unstructured data and evaluate data quality.
- Interest in empirical evaluation, explainable AI, information protection, and responsible AI.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Benefits
- Outstanding opportunity to use your skills and imagination to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
- Work on solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems.
- Be challenged in a supportive team of diverse innovators.
- Opportunity to craft what comes next.
