The CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security is a German national Big Science Institution within the Helmholtz Association. Our research encompasses all aspects of Information Security.
When a program crashes, it can take days and nights for programmers to find the problem. Now, researchers at CISPA have developed a robot that acts like a scientist. ALHAZEN observes the error circumstances, generates hypotheses using machine learning (ML) methods and refines and refutes them through experiments until it has determined the error causes fully automatically: "The program crashes because the street name was longer than 48 characters." To make debugging even more potent in the future, CISPA faculty Prof. Dr. Andreas Zeller and Prof. Dr. Lars Grunske of HU Berlin, both experts in automated software engineering, plan to further develop the ALHAZEN approach in the EMPEROR project. The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding their work with around half a million euros.
Cybersecurity is a young and fast-evolving area. As a Helmholtz Center for Information Security, CISPA is dedicated to cutting-edge foundational research combined with innovative application-oriented research in the areas of cybersecurity and privacy.
We are committed to the highest international academic standards and offer a world-class research environment that grants extensive resources to a wide range of researchers and that constitutes an attractive destination for the best talents and scientists from all countries.
CISPA PODCAST TL;DR
That text was way too long, so you couldn't bother to read it? We feel you! In TL;DR, CISPA's first podcast, we talk to researchers about their work on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence once a month and try to ask them exactly the same questions that you are asking yourself.
People from 35 nations work at CISPA. That's why you'll find conversations in both German and English in this feed.
Have fun listening!

PAST EVENTS
Recruitment of highly talented students and young researchers in the fields of cybersecurity and privacy is a core element of CISPA's development and growth strategy. Finding the right people is very important to us. Maybe you're one of them!
Our goal is to hire, train and accompany future researchers in all stages of their scientific careers, to help them advance as learners, from bachelor's and master's degrees to doctorates and positions as young researchers at both postdoctoral and faculty level.
No matter if you’re just starting your career or already have experience, we want to offer all of you an inspiring, international and competitive, yet cooperative and above all enjoyable working environment for your research and education. We strongly believe that, here, you will be able to develop your full potential.
