TU Graz at the forefront of digital CKI events, 05/2020
It all started with the CKI Talk on May 27th. Dr. Andreas Kind, Head of Siemens Cybersecurity Technology, held the keynote on “Challenges of Industrial Cybersecurity - A Hack. An Art. A Science". A series of targeted attacks on control systems ten years ago (Stuxnet) was the trigger to sharpen the focus on both IT security and safety at Siemens. Based on various hands-on examples (interlockings, hospitals and power supply systems) Dr. Kind presented solutions to securely connect the components in critical infrastructures to external cloud-based environments. Virtual break-out-sessions and an interactive panel discussion enabled the 70 participants to further discuss the insights. Finally, TU Graz students Lisa Kaiser and David Reiter earned an excellent 2nd place in the Railway Engineering Award 2020 for the outstanding performance of their master thesis, innovative strength and the development of solutions for the rail vehicle world of tomorrow.
