Summary

Today, most of us have a smartphone, are permanently online and, of course, use various online services and social media channels. We surround ourselves with devices that communicate with each other around the clock and increasingly make autonomous decisions for us.

In addition to all the possibilities, the technical developments of recent years also harbor security risks. How safe or vulnerable are we and our data? The use of highly networked systems requires an awareness of the threats to these systems and interlocking security measures.

As a graduate of the "IT Security and Mobile Systems" course, you have the security of the systems you develop in mind. You are able to design, develop and implement systems including the appropriate security concepts.
