Walter Seböck

Dr. Walter Seböck is Head of the Department for Security Studies at the University for Continuing Education Krems. As an Associate Professor, he leads research on disinformation, sensor networks, and industrial security, with projects funded by FFG and KIRAS.

His research focuses on security technologies including disinformation recognition systems, chemical/biological threat detection networks, and cyber-physical security. Key interests include AI applications for fake news detection, C-ITS for emergency response, and smart home vulnerabilities.

Publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to security challenges, with recent work exploring AI barriers in public communication, CBRN sensor networks, and voice assistant security. Trends show increasing focus on misinformation and AI-human interaction in security contexts.

Seböck leads projects engaging industrial partners in applied security solutions. His department develops technologies like mobile multi-sensor systems for railroad safety and semi-autonomous chemical detection systems.
