THINK Tank
ATHENEs Think Tank - Thought leader for German Cybersecurity
ATHENE is Germany's think tank for cybersecurity. We explore important issues arising from current policy or incidents in the digital world. Our goal: Germany and Europe should be well prepared for cyber threats before they become a danger.
What makes us special?
- We break new ground: instead of following familiar patterns, we develop innovative research approaches for tomorrow's cyber security.
- We set our own agenda: As an independent think tank, we decide which issues are important for the future - not others.
- We look ahead: We focus on future developments and trends in digital security.
- We deliver groundbreaking results: Our findings help shape a safer digital future.
We collect, collate and analyse extensive data to inform our work. This results in robust findings and practical recommendations.

Germany on the way to becoming a "Cybernation"
The complete digital transformation of a society
A cybernation is characterised by the full integration of digital technologies into all aspects of life, fundamentally transforming and connecting government services, business and education. This digital society not only relies on technological innovation, but also develops robust cybersecurity structures to protect data and infrastructure and build citizens' trust in the digital transformation.
