Cyber risk is now at the top of the international agenda as high-profile breaches raise fears that hack attacks and other security failures could endanger the global economy. Cyber crime costs the global economy over US$400 billion per year, according to Center for Strategic and International Studies. Consequently, German government is heavily investing in CyberSecurity. The presentation outlines the Research Agenda for Germany, current R&D trends and leading Cyber Security cluster in Germany

2. ICT Security Moves from R&D to Industrial
Application
21.02.2016 2
It's now more important than ever that
we can—at all times—rely on secure
and stable ICT able to withstand cyber
attacks. Increasing digitalisation and
networking make today's vital
infrastructures—in business and in
public life—more open to attack than
ever. This is why we need IT security.

11. Autonomics for Industry 4.0
Autonomics for Industry 4.0
is a technology programme by the
Federal Ministry for Economic
Affairs and Energy (BMWi).
The "AUTONOMICS for Industry 4.0"
technology programme is designed to
merge state-of-the-art I&C technology
with industrial production by exploiting
the potential offered by innovation in
order to accelerate the development of
innovative products.

12. ICT security for Industry 4.0
 With the cyber-physical systems in Industry 4.0, the degree of networking
and the "intelligence" of the components continue to rise
 Vision: the workpiece makes its own way to the machine which reports to it
that it has free processing capacity.
 Example: Through self-diagnosis, the milling machine detects that its cutting
tool is worn and informs the production technician who finds out about the
status of the machine through remote access and can then plan tool
replacement.
