Securing digital systems is becoming more and more important. Especially, in our connected society a lot of systems collect and store personal data. Companies are realizing slowly that IT Security should be an essential part of their IT. Not only good work opportunities, but also the interesting and broad aspects of IT Security motivate a lot of people to dive into this area.
