Summary

Modern society strongly depends on the proper functioning of its information infrastructure. Highly connected systems are nowadays an important component in almost all sectors of society, such as in the creation of economic values, as the basic prerequisite for the functioning of elementary infrastructures or in the everyday life of many people at the interpersonal level through their participation in social networks. Previously, these kinds of systems were isolated such that the risks and dangers could be better located and controlled. Today, however, the systems are manifold, flexible and complex, highly connected, but often fragile structures. The research group FORSEC deals interdisciplinarily with the security, reliability and protection of highly networked IT systems. Research is  oriented on this global leitmotiv and realized in the form of individual subprojects.
