Security

Research

Our approach to security is based on our own academic research, both in-house and in collaboration with academic institutions.

This validates the Visma Security Program, and ensures that Visma is at the cutting edge when it comes to security.

We also regularly do talks, presentations and lectures at universities, conferences and with our peers in other companies and for our customers.

Here is some of the work we have done:

As coadvisors, we will support and guide master students throughout their academic journey. We provide academic assistance, research guidance, and valuable feedback on their work.

We facilitate networking opportunities and help students navigate their chosen field. Together, we aim to foster their growth, develop their skills, and empower them to succeed in their research endeavors and future careers.

This year we focus on:

  • Security vulnerabilities occurrence and management in third-party libraries
  • Measuring the adoption and effective implementation of an application security program
  • Software supply chain threat analysis
  • Threat Analysis for Cloud Infrastructure
