IT Security for Critical Infrastructures

Critical energy infrastructures need IT security. Cyberattacks on grids and plants can lead to supply failures - with massive consequences for the economy and society. We analyze threats and develop tailored IT security solutions for the energy sector.

Key Focus Areas

• Prevention: Hardening of IT and OT systems, security audits, acceptance procedures, patch management
• Detection: Firmware scanning, network monitoring, log data management, intrusion detection, threat intelligence, cross-sectoral situation reporting
• Response: Incident response, IT forensics, malware analysis
• Research on Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and complex attack scenarios
• Concepts for increasing resilience in critical grid situations

Your Benefits

• Protection against increasing threats in the energy sector
• Higher supply security even in digitized environments
• Practical, applicable security solutions through research and development in our own real-world lab
