Research

Cyber security research has made a strong contribution to protection against attackers in recent decades. We have since learned that not only a few isolated cybercriminals pose a challenge: Thanks to Edward Snowden's revelations, we know that nation-state attackers in particular, with their immense financial and technical resources, are among the greatest threats of our day. Also well-organized nowadays are the large networks of cybercriminals, creating a notable danger for the digital world.

The Cluster of Excellence CASA (2019-2025) therefore centers on research questions for protective measures against these large-scale attackers.
