SUMMARY:Masterarbeit im Studiengang IT-Sicherheit von Niklas Herz: Document Analysis of EU Reports on the Development of Cybersecurity Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In today’s digital landscape\, cybersecurity threats have become imminent dangers affecting individuals\, businesses and nations alike. Current developments in international politics\, such as the war on Ukraine or the Israel-Hamas war\, show how cyber attacks can be used in conjunction with military actions. Possessing robust cybersecurity capabilities is essential for maintaining national security and safeguarding against evolving cyber threats. As major cybersecurity actors\, transnational alliances such as the European Union play a significant role in this field. While EU cybersecurity policies such as NIS-2 or the Cyber Resilience Act have gained considerable research attention\, there is a deficiency in studies focusing on specific technology developments within the realm of cybersecurity. In order to address this\, the aim of this thesis is to explore and analyze the current technology developments that are funded or developed by the European Union in the area of cybersecurity. To accomplish this\, I employ a three-staged methodology. First\, I analyze the current threat landscape the EU faces to determine what technologies are needed. This step includes a systematic literature review and a thematic analysis. Furthermore\, I delve deeper into reports\, documents and research papers that focus on cybersecurity technology developments and gain insights on the technical details. This yields an analysis of the specific advancements through a systematic review and qualitative content analysis. Finally\, I correlate discovered threats and technologies and assess\, whether these technologies tackle the threats that result from the analysis and to which extent they can mitigate them. This approach provides a detailed examination of the current state of technologies in the EU and allows me to put them into context within the cybersecurity threat landscape. \n  \nBetreuer*in: Anja-Liisa Gonsior\, M.A. \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit Kolja Renkel: A Silent Conquest of the Backbone? Factors of the Growing Submarine Data Cable Ownership by Content Providers
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The submarine data cable (SDC) infrastructure is the backbone of the Internet and transports the majority of data exchanges worldwide. The ownership structure of those cables has been changing for several years due to new stakeholders and investors. Large content providers like Google\, Amazon\, Microsoft\, and Meta started investing in their own SDC infrastructure. As this directly impacts the internet backbone\, it might positively or negatively affect this critical infrastructure’s overall security\, stability\, and availability. For better understanding\, I will examine the key factors that are important to content providers when planning to build an SDC connecting a particular country. I approached this by creating hypotheses with factors grouped into four categories: socio-economic\, political\, technological\, and geographical. Using multiple regression analysis\, I examined the various key factors and their relevance. The results show that countries with a high gross domestic product (GDP) and high internet usage but with more general political tensions and less technological progress\, compared to the First World\, are of great interest to content providers planning SDCs. Based on the results\, the different implications of the ownership change in the SDC critical infrastructure are discussed. The findings suggest that the internet backbone is growing and gaining stability. However\, as the named content providers are U.S.-based companies\, it is likely that the U.S. dominance over the SDC infrastructure will further increase. Additionally\, there is a chance that this could result in a market centralization around Google\, Amazon\, Microsoft\, and Meta\, as their bandwidth usage is already over 50\% of the worldwide traffic. Content providers must be aware of their responsibilities and comply with regulations such as the NIS2 to further guarantee the security\, availability\, and fairness of usage. \nBetreuer*in: Jonas Franken\, M.A. \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter
