The CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security is dedicated to cybersecurity research at the highest level: Conducting foundational as well as application-oriented research, CISPA researchers investigate the threats to which the digital space is exposed and work to protect it against attacks. Based in Saarbrücken, CISPA trains the cybersecurity experts of the future. It is deeply rooted in computer science, but cooperates closely with researchers from related fields such as medicine, law, and sociology.
