Cooperation with universities and higher education institutions in Germany is of great importance to the ITQ GmbH a key component. We are delighted, as part of the „1000-Plus Project 2025“ the Technical University of Munich to host five students at our headquarters in Garching for a week. The five participants, studying Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Communications Engineering and Computational Mechanics, gained an insight into the day-to-day working life of an engineer at ITQ GmbH.
During this week, the students explored the very important topic of „Cyber Security in Mechatronics“. The focus was on the implications of new EU regulations such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act to the Software development in mechatronics in the foreground. The increasing complexity of networked systems and the rise in cyber threats highlight just how important it is to prioritise secure processes.
The aim for this week: to design a development model that „Secure-by-design“ and „Secure-by-default“ which focuses on this issue and meets the growing demands on cyber security. Under the guidance and support of our consultants, the five students explored the topic and produced a poster presenting their findings. This poster serves as their entry ticket to the closing event of the 1000-Plus Project. On 30 April, all project participants will present their posters to the participating company representatives and a TUM panel.
We would like to thank TUM for this fantastic project and for the opportunity to over 1,000 young talents to prepare them for everyday working life in a practical way. We would also like to thank our five participants for their fantastic motivation and excellent performance throughout the week.
