Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security

At Fraunhofer AISEC, the main focus of our applied research is the development of application-oriented security solutions and their custom integration in existing systems. The core competences of our approximately 100 highly qualified scientific and technical employees lie in the areas of hardware security and the security of embedded systems, product and intellectual property protection, network security, and security in cloud- and service-oriented computing.

Our clients operate in a variety of industrial sectors, such as the chip card industry, telecommunications, the automotive industry, and mechanical engineering, as well as the software and healthcare industries. Our goal is to support and improve the competitiveness of our clients and partners in the manufacturing and service sectors as well as those in the public sector.

Strategic partnerships with globally operating industrial companies as well as with international universities, in particular the University of Excellence TU Munich, guarantee the scientific excellence of our work and its market-driven implementation.

Competitive digitalization applications, agile production processes and compelling new business models require a cognitive, industrial internet. Both decentralized edge computing and centralized cloud computing are seamlessly integrated into the edge-cloud continuum. As such, data in digitalized industrial processes is processed where it makes the most sense in terms of efficiency and economic viability.

Partner in the digital transformation

As part of the Fraunhofer CCIT, Fraunhofer AISEC researches and develops implementable technology solutions in the field of edge-cloud continuum. The advantages of edge and cloud computing are combined to create a continuous data space in which computing power is automatically and dynamically shifted as needed, depending on the volume of data and latency requirements.

"With the Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Internet Technologies CCIT, Fraunhofer supports businesses throughout the entire digital transformation process and works with them to develop custom-fit cognitive solutions. The support ranges from analysis and planning of a future-proof corporate strategy to agile technology development and testing in the numerous innovation and application centers of the Fraunhofer CCIT," says Prof.  Claudia Eckert, managing director of Fraunhofer AISEC and spokesperson of the Fraunhofer CCIT board of directors.
