IT SAFETY & SECURITY (ITS)
The operation of unmanned, automated systems poses several IT and cybersecurity challenges, and the experts in our IT Safety & Security Competence Group, in collaboration with oversight and regulatory authorities, develop fundamental security measures (IT baseline profiles) to ensure resilient UAS operations. Furthermore, the group creates data protection concepts to ensure compliance with the European GDPR, safeguarding individual and company data from misuse, and provides practical guidelines to minimize cybersecurity risks.
