IT security

Protecting digital infrastructures, identifying risks, and strengthening resilience – cybersecurity is a key area of ​​research at OTH Amberg-Weiden. Through practical solutions, targeted awareness-raising, and high-quality education and training, we actively contribute to IT security in business, society, and the public sector.

Selected research projects

AMiQuaSy

Preparing IT Systems for the Post-Quantum Era

How can today's IT infrastructures remain secure when quantum computers challenge established cryptographic methods?

AMiQuaSy explores how complex IT systems can be gradually migrated towards quantum-resistant security. Using a software supply chain and DevOps platform as a real-world scenario, researchers at OTH Amberg-Weiden and their industry partners develop and test approaches for identifying vulnerable cryptographic methods and replacing them with more resilient alternatives – helping prepare digital infrastructures for the security challenges of the post-quantum era.
