Titelgeschichte / Cover story: One Step Ahead of the Bad Guys

  • One Step Ahead of the Bad Guys
    Georg Sigl is a professor of IT security. His job is to uncover security gaps in technical systems, particularly, control systems embedded in machines and production units. These embedded systems are increasingly being targeted by hackers, and Sigl leaves no stone unturned to identify weak spots, whether it’s listening in on how cell phones compute or dropping acid on processors.
