Cybersecurity Spotlights

Quantum computers pose both a challenge and an opportunity for cybersecurity. They threaten today’s cryptographic systems by potentially breaking widely used public key encryption algorithms. Also, quantum systems themselves must be protected against manipulation and exploitation. At the same time, quantum computing also opens the door to entirely new security mechanisms based on quantum principles.

Generative artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the automated creation of content such as text and images, and also that of program code. Learn about the opportunities and risks our experts at GenAI see for cybersecurity, how you can use GenAI reliably in your company, and how Fraunhofer AISEC is promoting the practical application of GenAI.

The Cyber Resilience Act became binding law on October 10, 2024. But what security requirements apply now? Who is affected? Find out everything you need to know about the EU regulation and get to know the tools developed at Fraunhofer AISEC that can support you in implementing the Cyber Resilience Act. 

»Deepfakes« are deceptively real but manipulated video and audio recordings that can be created only with the help of artificial intelligence. Fraunhofer AISEC understands the risks and challenges associated with deepfakes — and is developing a toolkit to expose them.
