ABC
Analytics Based Cyber­security

Our mission: Secure internet infrastructure!

The ABC (Analytics Based Cyber­security) mission at ATHENE examines key protocols of the internet for vulnerabilities. These protocols can be manipulated to redirect data packets or trick users into mistaking fraudulent and fake websites for the originals. The results of the research can be used to gain insights into new attack methods and develop innovative procedures to prevent such cyber attacks.

Another aim of the ABC mission is to promote close cooperation with the industrial sector and the government on current research topics in the field of “internet infrastructure security”.

Cyber Range: Hyperrealistisches Security-Training

Train yourself and your team! Improve security skills and capabilities. Effectively and sustainably.

The next real attack – or a day on a cyber range, a hyper-realistic cyber attack simulation – can show how well prepared your IT team is for an emergency. Here, IT teams can be placed in realistic attack situations, team behavior can be tested in stressful situations, and security skills and capabilities can be improved. The Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology combines one of the world’s leading simulation platforms with current research findings and innovative startup ideas to create a new type of advanced training program – the Fraunhofer Cyber Range.

The program is based on a virtual mapping of a corporate or SCADA network and simulates different real-time attacks using realistic kill chain scenarios. The scenarios are based on real-world attacks and are designed in great detail so that participants can be tested in an emergency situation according to their role in the company. Speed and complexity can be adjusted so that the attacks can be adapted to the respective experience level of the teams. Both the scenarios and the solutions tested there are based on the current state of applied security research. The training sessions at the Cyberrange are complemented by next-generation attack scenarios, SOC insights from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft’s Security Operation Center and an innovative Solution Radar.

Unique solutions from research and development for practical deployment
