Research results in the field of cyber security can usually be used for both civilian and military purposes, which obviously results in a dual-use problem. In addition, the increasing use of AI systems also raises ethical questions in the field of cyber security and in the security sector in general. The use of published research results and open source technologies for criminal and terrorist purp

We look back with pleasure on our successful participation in the AFCEA Exhibition 2024, where we presented the innovative SOVEREIGN project together with the Cyberagentur. The SOVEREIGN project, which is funded by the Cyber Agency and is developing a technologically superior security monitoring and cyber defense platform for critical and complex infrastructures, attracted numerous guests and dele

Our paper “SOVEREIGN - Towards a Holistic Approach to Critical Infrastructure Protection” was accepted at the International Workshop on Physical and Cyber Security in Interdependent Critical Infrastructures (PCSCI 2024). The paper proposes a cyber-defense platform for protecting critical infrastructure against cyber attacks, paving the way for more sophisticated detection methods using
