Introduction
Make Computers work for you
What to do with the enormous amount of data that is produced daily all over the world? How do we prevent hacker attacks on our society? How do we keep our use of computers understandable and accessible? Computer scientists speak the language of computer systems and are experts in the security and network technologies of our time.
Every day, huge amounts of data are generated by consumers, devices, and applications, which are of great value to businesses, governments, and organizations alike. Thanks to advances in computing power and the development of advanced algorithms, collecting, storing, analyzing, and visualizing this data is easier than ever before.
At the same time, Industry 4.0 technologies are regularly under attack from cybercriminals, viruses, and malware and need to be protected around the clock. Information security and the analysis and management of such risks are more important than ever.
