Cinema advert "Honeypot" - Cybersecurity can now be seen in Hessian cinemas

In a new cinema advert the Hessen State Ministry for Higher Education, Research and the Arts (HMWK) draws attention to the Cybersecurity research in Darmstadt. The message of the advert is that the State Hessen invests in the security of its citizens and can be seen in cinemas for 7th December to 27th December 2017. The advert was produced by the initiative "Hessen schafft Wissen.de" on behalf of HMWK.

The mentioned Honeypots are especially designed bait, with which the scientists of the research group headed by Prof. Max Mühlhäuser, CYSEC [at] TU Darmstadt want to attract hackers. Attacks are registered almost minutely. The scientists receive countless information about cyber attacks and work out defense strategies. Further information may be found on the website of the research group.
