Research organisations are increasingly the target of cyber-attacks that can result in months of downtime. A major problem is the decentralised IT administration without uniform security management.

ATHENE is analysing the security situation at German universities and developing protection concepts that include modern security architectures and practical training for IT teams in order to strengthen cybersecurity in research institutions - and other sectors - in the long term.
