Whether it is the availability and costs of raw materials, energy and personnel or simply market and sales options, disruptions are increasingly influencing the business of manufacturing companies. In recent years, it has become clear that robustness, particularly in the face of a wide range of disruptions, cannot be countered by managing critical resources alone. From the authors' point of view, the design of robust corporate processes is part of the comprehensive approach. In this article, the importance of robust processes in the context of critically changing resources and infrastructures is demonstrated. (Only in German)

The number of successful cyber attacks on industrial manufacturing is constantly increasing due to the growth of digitalization and networking. IT security certifications are an effective means against these attacks and at the same time create confidence in and comparability of IT security about production and IT products. This article compares certification standards such as ISO/IEC 15408 - Common Criteria (CC) and specific standards for mobile communications (including NESAS CCS-GI), of GSM Association (GSMA) and 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), for testing depth and efficiency.

The concepts of public and private play a special role in connection with the digitalized society and thus with the ethical requirements that such a society places on cybersecurity. This is because the digitalization of society is shifting the boundaries between what can be described as public and private. Consequently, the relationship between freedom and surveillance is being put to the test. It is a question of (cyber-)ethics how far privacy should be restricted in favor of surveillance and security. (Only in German)

The increasing industrialization of the construction industry enables the implementation of a standardized process performance management, which can be used to analyze and control operational processes on construction sites [1]. This requires appropriate process data. The subject of this paper is the presentation of a structured procedure for process data collection based on Bluetooth Low Energy. The experiences gained in the course of field studies are used to derive opportunities and challenges and thus provide practical information on the use of BLE for process data collection.

Manufacturing companies of all sizes have been a popular target for hackers and cyber criminals for years - and the trend is rising. In addition to security gaps in the IT systems, OT systems, i.e. operational technology, are increasingly being targeted by attackers in the course of digitalisation and networking. The consequence: companies should secure themselves as quickly as possible. Hans-Peter Bauer, Senior Vice President Cyber EMEA at BlackBerry, explains how this is possible. (Only in German)
