Research





The digitization of products and processes requires effective use of information security management methods. Next to technical aspects of IT security, strategic aspects of IT management as well as the effective design of IT security measures are of central importance. The interdisciplinary team of the research group understands information-secure digitization as a socio-technical challenge: interplay of IT, processes and people.

Our research focuses on three Application Areas: Health, Mobility, and Society.
