Our main goal is to continue our basic research in IT security with a clear orientation towards the practical use by our industry partners and the general public. We incorporate our partners’ own R&D efforts and contribute our basic research perspectives. Our research program is designed as an integral approach to cover all important layers of security in information technology: the organizational layer (including the human factor), the business process layer, the logical layer, and the network and infrastructure layer. In brief, our overall goal is to expand the successful work of the center in crucial fields of research and to develop more secure and more robust IT systems in the foreseeable future.
