Today’s data volumes place high requirements on the management and analysis of data. The programme enhances established methods and combines them with innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence. It is building an innovative type of supercomputer as a modular system that can accommodate new technologies at relevant points. Technology assessments are carried out, analysing the opportunities and risks posed by new technologies and developing potential approaches for political decision-makers on this basis. They develop streamlined yet efficient security solutions for critical infrastructure in the transport and energy supply sectors.
