The fact is that systems such as (federal) administrations, supply chains, data mergers, critical infrastructures, hardware, but also technologies in difficult environments, such as in space, are essential for the functioning of the state, administration and economy. However, the more important a system is, the more attractive it is for cyber attacks. The security of systems is therefore just as central a task as driving forward the relevant research – research that we are initiating.
Our topics in this focus area
In this topic area, we are investigating the specific challenges in the area of cyber security in the administrative bodies of the federal government. The aim is to develop practicable solutions to overcome these challenges.
Securing security-critical and system-relevant infrastructures and organizations is of enormous importance for public safety. Therefore, we investigate novel approaches for securing existing and future systems as well as the capabilities required for prevention, detection, response and attribution with regard to existentially threatening risks from cyber and information space.
Cybersecurity in difficult environments is about developing communication technologies that also function robustly in space or under water and guarantee both security and reliability.
Access to secure hardware and the associated secure supply chains is an indispensable prerequisite for any cyber security. That is why we are working in this area on the development of alternative computer architectures that meet the requirements of future applications and systems.
