This module is part of the “Rootcamp” which an increasing number of attacks are attempting to compromise individual systems or networked infrastructures. This module first looks at the relevant characteristics of different systems and networks in order to identify and categorize attack vectors and potential vulnerabilities. This then makes it possible to consider various theoretical security concepts and measures and to examine their practical implementation for specific attack vectors. In addition to the security concepts used and corresponding vulnerabilities of "classic" computer systems and networks, this module also deals with the security functions and potential vulnerabilities of systems - such as smartphones, IoT devices and cloud infrastructures - as well as emerging technologies for modern telecommunication - such as 6G.
Elective in all Postgraduate Programs

The Master Thesis is a comprehensive research project that serves as the culmination of the Master’s program. It requires students to independently investigate a specific topic within their field, applying advanced theoretical and methodological approaches. The thesis involves the development of a research question, extensive literature review, data collection and analysis, the presentation of original findings, and the defense of the final results of the research to different audiences. It demonstrates the student's ability to conduct rigorous research, critically engage with scholarly work, and contribute to academic or practical knowledge in their discipline.
The group challenge is a fundamental part of the study program to apply learned concepts and frameworks and to build up additional competencies required for leaders in the digital world. The module poses a variety of challenges to a group of at least three students that commonly work on solving the given task. Challenges posed are individual per group but all focus on different aspects of digital trans-formation. This can include application scenarios in different industries or for the advancement of societies alike. Students in this module will be mentored by the professor and the teaching team to solve the challenge and thereby also learn and apply tools of digital project management.
This module onboards students to the program, the teaching and learning methods. Irrespective of the area of implementation, digitali-zation and digital transformation pose complex chal-lenges. Often, problems are not well-defined and need to be tackled in diverse areas being aware of many interrelated elements. Therefore, the skill to solve complex problems belongs to a set of so-called “future skills”, which humans need to thrive in and design the digital age. The module also teaches the principles, techniques and processes of Design Thinking, a user-centric approach to solve wicked problems and to design innovations.
