IT Security at TU Clausthal

IT security is becoming increasingly important and is penetrating ever wider circles of our daily lives. However, it stands and falls with the behaviour of the users of IT systems. In order to provide support here, the employees of the computer centre are available to provide advice and, if necessary, action. In addition, the Executive Board of Clausthal University of Technology has set up an IT Security Working Group and adopted an IT Security Policy.

The acting IT security officer of the TU Clausthal is:
