How can digitalization be made secure? What role does cybersecurity play in trustworthy AI, resilient infrastructures, and digital sovereignty? And why is excellent cybersecurity research more important today than ever before?
These questions are at the heart of the latest episode of the Think.Try.Transform. podcast, titled “CASA – Cybersicherheit auf der Überholspur.” Produced as part of the Excellence Strategy application of the Ruhr Innovation Lab by Ruhr University Bochum and TU Dortmund University, the podcast highlights pioneering research emerging from Germany’s Ruhr metropolitan region.
In the new episode, CASA PIs Eike Kiltz and Christof Paar discuss current cybersecurity challenges and provide insights into their research. The conversation makes clear that IT security is no longer merely a niche technical topic: it forms the foundation of trust in digital technologies and is essential for the future viability of modern societies. The episode also showcases the innovative strength of the Ruhr region and underlines the importance of interdisciplinary top-level research for digital transformation. Through its research, CASA is helping to rethink cybersecurity for the long term.
