Forschungsbereiche
ATHENE begleitet die digitale Transformation von Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Staat aus Sicht der Cybersicherheit und des Privatsphärenschutzes mit anwendungsorientierter Spitzenforschung und Entwicklung. Die Forschung gliedert sich in Forschungsbereiche, die von Koordinator*innen geleitet werden. In den Forschungsbereichen zugeordneten Projekten werden Konzepte, Methoden und Technologien entwickelt, die Cybersicherheit und Privatsphärenschutz über alle Lebensbereiche hinweg nachhaltig verbessern und sicherstellen. Die Problemstellungen werden interdisziplinär unter Einbeziehung der verschiedenen Wissenschaften, z.B. Psychologie, Arbeitswissenschaften, Wirtschaftswissenschaften etc. angegangen.
