The FORTIKA project contributes to reducing the overall risk of cyber-crime against SMEs. They shall be able to react appropriately to attacks and incidents without having to invest a lot of resources themselves to secure their systems against external attacks. FORTIKA therefore follows a security by design hybrid approach, which provides protection based on hardware and software at the same time.

Within the CrESt project, a scientifically founded and simultaneously field-proven methodological framework for the development of highly automated collborative embedded systems is to be created. The main object of the project, which is funded by the German Feder Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), is to enable networks of embedded systems to independent and intelligent collaboration.

The project “European Security Certification Framework” (EU-SEC) will aim to create a European framework for certification schemes and evaluation concepts to secure cloud infrastructures. EU-SEC will improve the business value as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of existing cloud security certification schemes.

The Internet of Things (IoT) increases the risk of attacks on the software of systems caused even by simple execution errors. Software verification tools can make a significant contribution to ensuring the security and reliability of digital technologies.

The aim of WindNODE is to establish a model region for intelligent electric energy in Northeastern Germany. The digitization of the increasingly decentralized energy system with the development of ICT services as well as the development of an Open Data portal are main subjects of the project.

Within the scope of the project IoT (Internet of Things), funded by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Technology, an IoT testware is to be developed. The testing and certification of IoT solutions is to be made cost-effective for manufacturers. The focus is on systematic inspection processes and test methods in order to prove the technologies demonstrably and to improve the quality of IoT solutions.

Within the EMYNOS project, a next-generation emergency communication platform ist to be designed and implemented. The project aims to coordinating communication among citizens, call centers and first responders.

Up to one hundred computers in a car ensure a safe drivability. Automotive manufacturers and suppliers work together in the development of such software systems. The BMW Group's Symphony Project integrates development data from various data sources at BMW into one data model and tests the consistency to ensure the eventual compatibility and necessary software quality of the individual components.

In the context of the EU’s Horizon 2020 initiative, Triangulum will lead the way towards a smart and sustainable development in European cities. Therefore, Triangulum will transfer designated urban districts into smart quarters within the “lighthouse cities” Manchester (UK), Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Stavanger (Norway). 

TAG CLOUD is a European project co-funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Commission that will generate lifelong engagement with cultural heritage through social media, augmented reality and storytelling applications based on the cloud. 

Cyber-physical Systems (CPSs) must be reliable, robust, efficient, safe, and secure, even in the presence of uncertainty. U-Test will aim to improve the dependability of CPSs by defining extensible MBT frameworks supporting holistic testing of the systems under uncertainty in a cost-effective manner.

The business processes of banks depend on functioning IT-Systems. Malfunctions or outages, especially in complex data centers could result in high losses right up to insolvency of individual financial institutions. The project PREVENT has as goal, to develop methods and tools for a systematic security evaluation of data centers.
