_________________________________

Compliant data protection and perfect data security, no risk from hackers or espionage attacks/software. An appropriate level of information security and the protection of mobile end devices have been declared standard. Our strategic goal is therefore to support our partners in the region in particular:

Application-oriented research to ensure and increase the information security of organizations in the Middle Lower Rhine region.

The Hochschule Niederrhein's Clavis Institute for Information Security sees itself as a regional link between industry, other researchers and teaching education. The Latin term "clavis" means "key" and thus characterizes the topic of information security through encryption on the one hand and symbolizes the access of regional industry to The Hochschule Niederrhein on the other.

The inter- and transdisciplinary institute brings together experts from industry and the faculties of The Hochschule Niederrhein:

  • FB 03 - Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and
  • FB 08 - Business Administration and Economics

In this way, information security is viewed from various scientific perspectives.

The Institute for Information Security aims to become a central point of contact for regional industry when it comes to cyber security. In addition, the university is to achieve accredited partner status for the awarding of certifications in the field of information security (e.g. for the ISO/IEC 27000 series). We assume that there will be a similar cascading need for certification in the industry as there is for ISO 9001 for quality management.

      The CPS Lab MG 4.0 is now taking off.

      We are convinced that we have created a medium with the pupils' lab, which on the one hand represents a great direct benefit for the pupils because they learn important foundation courses in IT security. On the other hand, it gives pupils a practical insight into STEM degree programs and areas of application.

      Pupils from Mönchengladbach can now register for the free 90-minute courses via their schools. These are offered in cooperation with the zdi Center MG, Mönchengladbach Economic Development Agency, CLAVIS Institute for Information Security at The Hochschule Niederrhein and with funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 2014-2020.

      The CPS Lab MG 4.0 is divided into two phases. The first phase addresses the topic of information security. Here, pupils are sensitized to the dangers of the Internet and learn how hackers operate using typical attack scenarios. The pupils are also allowed to try out and participate in a secure environment.

      The second phase is designed to introduce pupils to the world of cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems: This means the combination of programmable software components with mechanical and electronic parts that communicate via a data infrastructure, such as the Internet. In two to three active courses, students will be taught basic knowledge in the field of PLC programming (programmable logic controller) using Industry 4.0 components from Festo Didactics. In this way, pupils can learn about the same technologies that are used in industry and gain an insight into what they can expect in their future careers.

      Interested schools should contact the Institute for Information Security at The Hochschule Niederrhein at the e-mail address guido.wolf(at)hs-niederrhein.de. Appointments will be made by arrangement with the responsible teaching education staff at the schools.

      NRWgoes.digital

      The "NRWgoes.digital" project was launched in October 2018 under the patronage of Minister President Armin Laschet. It is a 3.5-year state-wide qualification offensive for digitalization in the dual system, which targets training personnel from mechanical and plant engineering companies, teachers from technical and commercial vocational colleges and apprenticeships in mechanical engineering.

      The Hochschule Niederrhein's Clavis Institute for Information Security is one of a total of thirteen project partners. It offers training courses in the form of two-day face-to-face events and webinars for 600 training managers and teachers in the field of IT security. The content for the training courses and digital learning materials have been specially developed for this purpose and made available on the MLS (Mobile Learning in Smart Factories) learning platform.

      Further information can be found here.

      KRITIS network platform

      The initial idea to create a network platform on the topic of critical infrastructures emerged in 2016, based on years of intensive expert dialogue between Prof. Dr.-Ing René Treibert, who established the Clavis Institute for Information Security at The Hochschule Niederrhein, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Uli Barth, who heads the Chair of Methods of Security Technology/Accident Research in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Safety Technology at the University of Wuppertal. After the dissolution of the Protection Commission at the Federal Ministry of the Interior in 2015, the network platform was also intended to open up a modern format for all those who wanted to continue to engage in the continuous security improvement of critical infrastructures in a scientific and independent manner. Fortunately, since the official launch of the network platform on December 9, 2016 in Mönchengladbach, numerous specialist events and publications have been achieved.

      Expert opinion on behalf of the Bundestag

      On behalf of the German Bundestag, the Office of Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag (TAB) carried out a project on the topic of "Opportunities and risks of the digitalization of critical municipal infrastructures". In this context, the German Bundestag commissioned the Clavis Institute for Information Security at The Hochschule Niederrhein to prepare a report on the topic of "Preventive information security in the water industry".

      This report is a descriptive study to record the current information security situation within the water industry, with the aim of specifying legal and regulatory requirements and concretizing preventive information security mechanisms to increase resilience in terms of information security in a practical orientation.

      ISO27K software prototype development

      The software to be developed is suitable for the early phases of ISMS introduction in accordance with the ISO/IEC 2700 series, with the main functions being the automated linking of norms and standards and more time-efficient navigation. The development was prompted by the identification of inefficient handling of the series in KRITIS projects. The prototype is still in use today, especially for junior consultants and for "quick research" in the standards.
