CAMPUS VILSHOFEN

Campus Vilshofen is a research location of Deggendorf Institute of Technology specialising in cyber security. Our team of around 30 people comprises professors, academic and technical staff as well as students.

The campus was established as a technology transfer centre for digital security as part of the ‘Hightech Transfer Bayern’ initiative. As such, we strive to facilitate active knowledge and technology transfer between the institute, industry and society in everything we do.

Whether company, organisation or public institution, we are your expert partner for general to detailed enquiries on all aspects of cybersecurity.

Digitalisation has become an integral part of our lives: processes are being automated and systems interconnected, data is stored in the cloud, and critical business applications are web-based.

Yet cybersecurity threats tend to be treated as little more than a footnote. In reality, ransomware and the like have significant financial and legal consequences.

Our experienced penetration testers and researchers put the security of your network or system through its paces. The team of ‘ethical hackers’ identifies vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Our research group DiSecT carries out applied research and development work as part of publicly funded programmes and on behalf of companies. It is part of the cross-campus Institute for Secure, Autonomous and Connected Systems (ISACS).

In collaboration with our industrial partners, we develop methods and technologies to protect the digital space – from simple embedded systems to industrial automation technology and even critical infrastructure. This distinguishes our work from the basic research traditionally carried out at universities.

DiSecT is part of the cross-campus Institute for Secure, Autonomous and Connected Systems (ISACS). This institute brings together expertise in communication networks, artificial intelligence, mobility and cyber security, and develops solutions for complex cyber-physical systems.

AI agents must not disclose our private data, and autonomous vehicles must not be controlled by unauthorised persons. On our cybersecurity degree programme, you’ll learn what security in IT systems means and how to achieve it.

This involves far more than just computer science with a sprinkling of security aspects: penetration testing, cryptology and digital forensics, for example. Graduates have a wide range of specialisation options open to them, from programming to management.

• Bachelor Degree Programming Cyber Security, B.Sc.
• Master Degree Programme Cyber Security, M.Sc.

Primary teaching location for these degree programmes is the main campus in Deggendorf. Students come to our campus as part of practical courses, work placements, Bachelor’s and Master’s theses, and as student assistants (‘studentische Hilfskräfte’). Interested? Further details about this and promotion opportunities can be found on our research group’s webpage.

We strive to inspire children and young people to engage with cybersecurity and programming. Thus, we regularly organise events, activities and workshops in collaboration with local secondary schools. During these, pupils can try their hand at assembling and programming a mini-PC, for example.

For vocational classes specialising in computer science, the programme goes even further: they can try their hand at finding vulnerabilities in a virtual environment on our gamified learning platform.

Depending on their career interests, pupils also have the opportunity to gain work experience at our campus.
