In search of partners: Research in the focus area cyber-resilient society
Cyberagentur on the trace of harm caused by cybercrime
On May 16th, 2024, the @Agentur for Innovation in Cybersecurity (Cyberagentur) is holding a partnering event in preparation for a new research project. In the "Harm caused by cybercrime" project, future contractors are to drive forward research in the field of cyber resilience. The award procedure is scheduled for summer 2024.
At the partnering event on May 16th 2024, the Cyberagentur will inform interested parties about the aims of the future research project "Harm caused by cybercrime". Potential contractors will have the opportunity to present their expertise in this research field and thus promote possible collaborations. "We are inviting representatives from research institutions, authorities, associations, companies and start-ups," says project manager Dr Nicole Selzer, research officer in the Cyberagentur's Secure Society department.
The research project "Harm caused by cybercrime" aims to develop a model, including metrics and methodologies, for the holistic recording of short, medium and long-term harms caused by cybercrime. The results will make a valuable contribution to the national and international cyber security strategy and will serve as a basis for further research in the thematic focus area of the cyber-resilient society.
Dr Nicole Selzer emphasises the need for precise data: "We currently lack the data basis to fully record the material and immaterial harm caused by cybercrime. With a precise assessment based on a valid database, we can better assess the risk of over- or underestimation and thus deploy resources in a targeted manner."
The virtual partnering event offers a good opportunity to network and assess potential research alliances. Interested parties can register via the website https://www.cyberagentur.de/partnering-sck/. The conference language is English. The call for proposals for the research project is scheduled for summer 2024.

Background: Cyberagentur
The Agentur für Innovation in der Cybersicherheit GmbH (Cyberagentur) was founded by the Federal Government in 2020 as a fully in-house company of the Federal Government under the joint leadership of the Federal Ministry of Defence and the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community with the aim of adopting a cross-departmental view of internal and external security in the field of cybersecurity with a focus on application strategy. Against this backdrop, the work of the Cyberagentur is largely aimed at the institutionalised implementation of highly innovative projects that are associated with a high risk in terms of achieving the objectives, but at the same time can have a very high potential for disruption if successful.
The Cyberagentur is part of the National Security Strategy of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The Cyberagentur is headed by Prof Dr Christian Hummert as Research Director and Managing Director and Daniel Mayer as Commercial Director.
