Without trust in digital solutions, they will not be accepted and used by citizens. However, trust can only be established if we control the chain of IT solutions from start to finish as well as possible. And this is exactly what the Cyberagentur team in Dresden is dedicated to. And Dresden is exactly the right location for this, as there is a large ecosystem in the field of secure IT solutions, communication, chip design and chip production from research, industry and government partners, which complements the Cyberagentur team.
Our topics in this focus area
Without raw materials, there are no chips, and without knowledge and control of the hardware and software, there is no security for an individual IT solution. This is precisely where we come in and look for solutions to lay the foundations for a digital, trustworthy value chain with verifiably secure IT products and sustainably secured supply chains.
Today, a single IT system alone has no real added value. The networking of a wide variety of systems is essential. But how can we secure this networking and communication of systems? We ask ourselves these questions and, in addition to the technical aspects, also examine the sociological aspects of communication – as a link in the trustworthy value chain.
Without the user, I don’t need a secure IT solution. So at the end of the trustworthy value chain, we are looking at how everyday digital life and the digital self can be made secure and transparent. Resilient digital services that guarantee the protection of citizens and their identity and increase vigilance are key to strengthening citizens’ trust in digital solutions.
