Digitalization and cyber security are the top themes of Fraunhofer CML at this year's transport logistic in Munich. Please visit us in Hall B2, Stand 501/602! We would be happy to provide you with ways to digitalize, but also to secure data streams.

MITIGATE Newsletter 02

The second newsletter presenting the innovative Risk Management System MITIGATE is available for download. The system's core is an open simulation environment that can be used to simulate and analyze possible risk scenarios in the field of cybersecurity. Furthermore these simulations can help to better predict and therefore avoid hazards in the future. Moreover the system can provide for more transparency in handling risks and hazards. MITIGATE is granted within the framework of the EU research program „Horizon 2020“ and has a duration of 30 months.
