Visit Frontiers in Science - starring Prof. Haya Schulmann
Twice a year, internationally renowned guests are invited to share the latest findings from their research on topics of societal relevance.
- December 5, 2024: Cyber security with Prof. Haya Schulmann.
- On site in TU Dresden’s Fritz-Foerster-Building 244.
Which cyber threats are of particular significance today?
System vulnerabilities and compromised log-in data. Our studies show that the range of attacks goes beyond ransomware and data breaches, and they discuss solutions for digital security.

Who or what has been a major influence on your path to your current field?
In the 1990s at the latest, the importance of protecting information technology from cyber attacks became clear. I was lucky to be able to pursue my interest in cyber security at all stages of my career and to encounter people everywhere who supported me.
Where and how do you push scientific boundaries in your research?
Every advance in IT and digitalization pushes the boundaries of cyber security. AI enables new forms of disinformation and attacks, but also of automation and defense in cyber security. We can measure and empirically investigate large, organically grown IT infrastructures.
What impact would you like your discipline to have on society in 20 years' time?
Without cyber security, there can be no responsible digitalization. I would like to see a much higher level of overall security in 20 years' time, so that cyber attackers will not have such an easy time as they do now, and that security by design will have become established everywhere.
Prof. Haya Schulmann is Professor of Cyber Security at the Institute of Computer Science at Goethe University Frankfurt. She is a member of the board of directors of ATHENE, the National Research Center for Applied Cyber Security, where she coordinates the research area "Analytics Based Cyber Security." She is also a visiting professor at Tel Aviv University and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Schulmann is one of the most renowned and successful cyber security researchers in Germany.
She received a LOEWE Top Professorship in 2022, the German IT Security Award of the Horst Görtz Foundation in 2021, and the Applied Networking Research Prize of IETF/IRTF in 2015. She routinely publishes her work at leading international security conferences. To make a wider audience aware of cyber security, she also writes articles and columns on a regular basis for FAZ, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and for Tagesspiegel Background - Cyber Security.
