The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security (AISEC) celebrated a cornerstone ceremony on October 26, 2017, for a new cybersecurity research center at the Garching campus. Established in 2008, Fraunhofer AISEC is led by two professors from the Technical University of Munich (TUM): Prof. Claudia Eckert and Prof. Georg Sigl. The new facility will allow TUM and AISEC to further strengthen and expand upon their joint R&D activities in the field of cybersecurity. It will play a key role in the expansion of the burgeoning digital research hub in Garching. In recent decades, Munich and the State of Bavaria have transformed into a leading European and global tech hub. As part of the region's "Bayern Digital" strategic investment program for digitalization, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security (AISEC) cybersecurity research center is just one of several new facilities planned for the Garching research campus north of Munich in coming years. When it goes into operation in early 2019, the center will provide cutting-edge security laboratory and test environments.
