CSC and HP have joined together in a global collaboration with Fraunhofer FOKUS, EMC, RSA, McAfee and Sourcefire to open the Cybersecurity Demonstration Center (CDC).

The site located in Berlin will be used to create new defences against cyber attacks by researching and testing multiple and varied types of attacks on IT infrastructure. The research gained from testing is intended to safeguard and educate the security industry against vulnerabilities.

Head of Fraunhofer FOKUS, Professor Radu Popescu-Zeletin, said “The base for trust, data protection and security are constantly changing. It is important that there are systems that are able to react effectively on danger”.
