Consulting on cyber resilience, security and innovation for critical infrastructures and Industry 4.0.
JOANNEUM RESEARCH offers tailor-made consulting services to strengthen the cyber resilience, security and innovation capabilities of critical infrastructures and automated industrial environments. Our mission is to help operators of essential services, such as water utilities and industrial control systems in general, anticipate threats, withstand attacks and comply with constantly evolving European regulations.
Our expertise covers the entire security lifecycle. We conduct systematic threat modelling, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. We develop and recommend resilience and security measures tailored to industrial IT/OT systems and IoT-based environments, as well as measures to ensure trustworthy AI and its robustness against attacks, to ensure secure deployment throughout the supply chain. To ensure compliance, we support companies in implementing NIS2, ISO27000 and upcoming EU regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act and the AI Act, offering practical assessments and concrete steps towards certification and regulatory compliance.
Beyond technical security, awareness and preparedness are at the heart of our services. With our customisable serious games and training modules, we create interactive, domain-specific environments where employees and decision-makers can practise their responses to cyber incidents and operational crises. This improves both individual awareness and the preparedness and resilience of the organisation.
In addition, we offer innovation consulting for companies and institutions participating in funded scientific projects to ensure that aspects of cyber resilience and security are adequately addressed. This includes drafting proposals, defining security-by-design approaches and integrating resilience concepts into innovation strategies. We also offer research and innovation outsourcing services and, as a contractor, carry out specialised R&D tasks for companies that require additional expertise and resources in the areas of cyber security and resilience.
By combining advanced applied research with practical consulting, JOANNEUM RESEARCH bridges the gap between science, innovation and practical implementation. Our services enable operators of critical infrastructures and industrial companies to confidently meet the constant security challenges of digitalisation.
