Process-oriented economic evaluation and selection of IT security measures (ProBITS)
How can companies properly evaluate measures to increase their IT security? The joint project "Process-oriented economic evaluation and selection of IT security measures" (ProBITS) is developing an innovative approach that will enable a process-oriented evaluation of IT security measures (ITSM) in the future. In addition to a multi-criteria decision model, the aim is to develop a process model for the introduction and implementation of ITSM and to expand an existing process modelling language to include interactions between ITSM and corporate processes. Finally, an IT tool will enable the efficient evaluation and selection of ITSM. The project thus makes a significant contribution to increasing IT security in general and in particular for SMEs by taking specific company requirements into account.

ITS.kompetent: Determining IT Security (ITS) Qualification Needs Using Competence Measurement and Profile Matching
The joint project "ITS.kompetent: Determining IT Security (ITS) Qualification Needs Using Competence Measurement and Profile Matching" aims to develop the online tool "ITS.kompetent". ITS.kompetent makes it possible to determine SME-specific ITS qualification needs by means of profile matching and the subsequent selection of ITS training offers that are a perfect fit. With the help of ITS.kompetent, SMEs gain transparency with regard to questions like: What ITS competencies are needed for which employees? Where are the job-specific and company-wide ITS qualification needs? How can the missing competencies be effectively built up? In this way, ITS.kompetent fills an important gap in order to inform SMEs about potential dangers and to sustainably increase the ITS level in SMEs.
