Background

Netnod is a small high-tech firm based in Sweden which provides services at the core of the Internet, such as Internet-exchange services, transmission, DNS-services, and time and frequency services. Netnod is at the forefront of secure and robust services.

Thesis description

At Netnod we mainly design security through diversity, often at an infrastructure level. In terms of security our systems focus on providing availability and integrity, even in extreme scenarios.

How can infrastructure firms, such as Netnod, use AI and similar technologies for monitoring, development and innovation. Are infrastructure firms different from other firms in terms of possible AI-use, if so, why? How can AI-systems of wholesale customers interact with systems of wholesale providers, such as Netnod, at scale?

This thesis concerns digging into this issue, and if possible, suggest solutions. This thesis concerns both implementation and evaluation of implementations.
