SRC at ICPS 2019 in dialogue with physics students

SRC attends the ICPS 2019 Jobfair

Physics students will meet for the 34th time at ICPS 2019 in Cologne. The “Jobfair” taking place on Tuesday, August 13, 2019, will provide the setting.

SRC uses the ICPS 2019 to provide physi­cists with insights into and an exchange on the diverse topics of IT security. The SRC experts explain the challenges of technology assessment using examples such as mobile payment methods, artificial intel­li­gence and similar topics. This requires a strong instinct for potential sources of error in complex environ­ments, the compe­tence to find solutions and the will to implement them. Especially students with a physical background bring these valuable qualities with them. Dr. Max Hettrich already reported in the interview “From quantum physicist to security analyst at SRC” on how a career can develop from these qualities.

By students for students — The ICPS 2019

The ICPS finds a new home every year. More than 500 physics students and doctoral candi­dates from more than 50 nations not only have the oppor­tunity to exchange their knowledge; they also get to know the culture and mentality of the host country. The ICPS is organised by the respective student associ­a­tions of the host country. This year, the organ­i­sation team consisting of members of the young German Physical Society, the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Cologne and the Bonn-Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy who have prepared a programme that will last 8 days.

Matthias Dahlmanns is the project coordi­nator of ICPS 2019 and a working student at SRC. “Coordi­nating the organ­i­sation of the ICPS 2019 is a great experience. The partic­i­pation of SRC makes me personally very happy”, says Matthias Dahlmanns. Dr. Benjamin Botermann, Senior Consultant Test & Quality Assurance, is also looking forward to the exchange with the many inter­ested physics students: “I am very excited about the ICPS Jobfair. As a physicist, I find myself absolutely at home working at SRC. I am looking forward to the exchange with the prospective physi­cists. In a personal conver­sation, I would like to talk about the various fields of activity at SRC and answer the numerous and detailed questions”.

BarCamp “Infor­mation Security Management in Credit Insti­tu­tions” — 19 September 2019

In cooper­ation with SRC Security Research & Consulting GmbH, Bank-Verlag GmbH hosts a BarCamp on the subject of “Infor­mation Security Management in Credit Insti­tu­tions”. The event will take place on 19 September 2019 at the premises of Bank-Verlag in Cologne.

The Federal Financial Super­visory Authority (BaFin) has also defined the new function of the Infor­mation Security Officer with the “Banking Super­visory Require­ments for IT” (BAIT). He or she controls the infor­mation security process and reports directly to management. What this theory looks like in practice will be examined in more detail on 19 September at the BarCamp “Infor­mation Security Management in Credit Institutions”.

The BarCamp Principle

A BarCamp is an open conference with practical workshops. The workshops serve the exchange and discussion among the partic­i­pants. At the beginning, the partic­i­pants themselves develop the contents and the agenda, which they then develop further. There are no prede­fined speakers or proce­dures to be found in a BarCamp. Instead, this principle relies on the (moderated) exchange of experience.

BarCamp “Infor­mation Security Management in Credit Institutions

The BarCamp “Infor­mation Security Management in Credit Insti­tu­tions” gives Infor­mation Security Officers as well as all those respon­sible for infor­mation and IT security management at credit insti­tu­tions the oppor­tunity to exchange infor­mation on topics such as BAIT audits, service provider management or risk management. In addition, contacts can be estab­lished and expertise expanded. The coffee breaks can be used for individual discus­sions. At the end of the event, a “get-together” provides an in-depth exchange among the participants.

The SRC Speakers

Four experts from different areas of SRC will share their knowledge and expertise with the participants.

Sandro Amendola, deputy head of the evalu­ation body at SRC, is respon­sible for the topic “IT compliance in the banking industry”. In addition, he develops security concepts and security require­ments for payment trans­action proce­dures on behalf of the German banking industry, among others.

Jochen Schumacher is respon­sible for commu­ni­ca­tions at SRC. He concen­trates on product management, the technical and editorial support of the website as well as the planning, imple­men­tation and moder­ation of events.

Florian Schumann is Head of IT at SRC. In addition, he is an infor­mation security consultant and qualified auditor according to § 8 (a) BSIG for critical infrastructures.

Dr. Deniz Ulucay works at SRC as a consultant for infor­mation security. His focus is on the devel­opment of ISMSs, in particular for operators of critical infra­struc­tures. He is also respon­sible for the devel­opment and imple­men­tation of security concepts.

Regis­tration & Schedule

Further infor­mation about the regis­tration and the course of the BarCamp on the topic “Infor­mation security management in Credit Insti­tu­tions” can be found in this flyer (GER) and on the website of Bank-Verlag. Here you can register directly online for the event and bring in the topics that are important and inter­esting for you and thus help to determine the course and outcome of the BarCamp “Infor­mation Security Management in Credit Institutions”.

SRC Smart Energy Expert at Round­table in Cologne

On Wednesday, 22 August 2018, an expert round­table will take place in Cologne. Organised by eco — Verband der Inter­netwirtschaft, the expert round­tables are charac­terised above all by high expertise, multi­dis­ci­plinary perspec­tives and high discussion intensity.

In August the motto of the event is “Smart Energy: Not without my “Smart Meter?” and among other things it will deepen the previous round­table on the topic “Smart Home”. For many years people have been talking about smart metering, but the actual devel­opment seems to be far behind the plans and prognoses of that time. New framework condi­tions, new approaches and new success factors will now be discussed in the panel of experts to be held on 22 August 2018.

Dr. Jens Oberender, Senior Consultant at SRC, will discuss in an oral contri­bution on the thematic field “Security and perspec­tives of the Smart Meter” if Smart Meters and their environment can be considered as secure. Dr. Oberender draws on his many years of experience in consulting projects relating to the certi­fi­cation of Smart Meter Gateways.
