_________________________________

Proper data protection and perfect data security, no threat from hackers or espionage attacks/software. An appropriate level of information security as well as the protection of mobile devices are declared standard. Therefore, our strategic goal is to support especially the partners in the region:

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

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

The inter- and transdisciplinary in-institute unites experts from industry and the faculties of the Hochschule Niederrhein:

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

Thus, information security is considered from diverse scientific perspectives.

The Institute for Information Security wants to become a central contact point for the regional industry in terms of 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). Here, we assume that the industry will have a similar cascading need for certification as with ISO 9001 for quality management.

Cyber Security Management

The domain of information security has been gaining in importance for years, both from a social and an organizational perspective. It can be described as one of the central issues of the 21st century information society. The spectacular attacks on critical infrastructures, private individuals and on our modern society, with the associated IoT, Connectivity, Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Smart Grid showed the fragility and existing vulnerability of our systems and highlight the urgent need to address the security challenges more intensively through inter- and transdisciplinary research.

Our focus is on the following research and transfer activities:

CRITIS

We accompany operators of critical infrastructures in the introduction to
information security management systems (ISMS) based on the international DIN ISO/IEC 27001.

Companies and public clients are important project partners for Clavis. The cooperative collaboration with our project partners ensures the practicability of the jointly developed problem solutions. Clavis offers support mainly in the following areas:

      The CPS Lab MG 4.0 is now taking off.

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

      Pupils from Mönchengladbach can now register for the approximately 90-minute free courses via their schools. These are offered in cooperation by the zdi Center MG, Mönchengladbach Economic Development, CLAVIS Institute for Information Security of 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, students are made aware of the dangers of the Internet and learn how hackers operate by means of typical attack scenarios. The students are also allowed to try things out for themselves in a secure environment.

      The second phase is designed to introduce students to the world of cyber-physical systems. Cyber-Physical Systems: This means the interconnection 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 PLC (programmable logic controller) programming skills using Industrie 4.0 components from Festo Didactics. In this way, students can learn on the same technologies that are also used by industry and gain insights into what could await them 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 after consultation with the responsible teaching education of the schools.

      NRWgoes.digital

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

      The Institute for Information Security Clavis at the Hochschule Niederrhein is one of a total of thirteen project partners. The 600 training officers and teachers are offered further training in the field of "IT security" in the form of two-day classroom events and webinars. The content for the training courses and digital learning materials were developed specifically for this purpose and made available didactically on the MLS (Mobile Learning in Smart Factories) learning platform.

      Further information can be found here.

      KRITIS network platform

      The initial idea to establish a network platform on the topic of critical infrastructures emerged in 2016. The foundation was based on years of intensive dialog between Prof. Dr.-Ing René Treibert, who built up the Institute for Information Security Clavis at the Hochschule Niederrhein, and Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Uli Barth, who heads the Chair of Methods in Security Technology/Accident Research in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Security Technology at the University of Wuppertal. Furthermore, even after the dissolution of the Protection Commission at the Federal Ministry of the Interior in 2015, the network platform was intended to open up a modern format for all those who wanted to continue to be involved 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 commissioned by the Bundestag

      On behalf of the German Bundestag, the Office of Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag (TAB) conducted a project on the topic of "Opportunities and Risks of the Digitization of Critical Municipal Infrastructures". In this context, the German Bundestag commissioned the Clavis Institute for Information Security at the Hochschule Niederrhein to prepare an expert report on the topic of "Preventive Information Security in the Water Industry".

      This report represents 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 technology security mechanisms to increase resilience in the sense of information security in a practical manner.

      ISO27K software prototype development

      The software to be developed is suitable for the early phases of ISMS introduction to ISO/IEC 2700 series, with the main functions being 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. To date, the prototype is in use, especially for junior consultants and for "quick research" in standards.
