About the opportunity

At the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics, Systems Technology and Image Exploitation IOSB, we transform the latest scientific findings into technical innovations – thereby contributing to shaping the future.

Our department Information Management and Control Engineering (ILT) iosb.fraunhofer.de/de/kompetenzen/systemtechnik/informationsmanagement-leittechnik.html has developed security concepts (based on trusted modules, among others) in recent years, which enable the secure automation of security-critical processes.

The buzzwords "Industry 4.0" and the "Industrial Internet of Things" describe the ever-increasing networking in industrial environments. It repeatedly becomes clear how vulnerable industrial systems are. To counteract this, the correct implementation of effective security mechanisms is indispensable. Human error, resource scarcity, and overly complex processes lead to theoretically effective security mechanisms being practically unachievable or insufficiently implemented.

Have we sparked your interest? Just a ten-minute walk from the South Campus of KIT, your chance awaits to become part of our renowned research institution!
