Research Center Cybersecurity

The Research Center for Cybersecurity at German UDS focuses on Security Awareness, the economic aspects of cybersecurity and Advanced Security analytics.

Security Awareness addresses the human element of cybersecurity. Recognizing that technology alone cannot mitigate all threats, we work on innovative intelligence services and comprehensive education and training programs tailored for various audiences, from executives to regular end users.

Economics of Cybersecurity examines institutions and incentives in cyberspace. At the Research Center we analyze regulations that shape the market for cyber services and products, and so do the incentives of different groups of attackers. We develop a method for measuring the cost of an attack and to measure the impact of protection. We are also working on ways to integrate cybersecurity into a company's value chain. Ultimately, we cooperate with governments to improve the regulatory framework and consult companies on security aspects in a digitalized world.

Advanced Security Analytics leverages big data, machine learning, and AI to identify, detect, and respond to cyber threats. By analyzing vast amounts of data in real time, we aim to detect threats that traditional security approaches often miss, providing a proactive defense mechanism against evolving and sophisticated cyber-attacks. At the Research Center for Cybersecurity, we are dedicated to researching and developing modern and advanced security approaches through innovative research, collaboration, and education, aiming to create a secure digital world.
