Critical Infrastructure on Hold? Prof. Dr. Clemens Gause on Law, Practice and Reality

Prof. Dr. Gause provides an in-depth insight into the world of security technology. It quickly becomes clear: physical security is no longer a peripheral topic but a central building block of the resilience of critical infrastructure. We also examine the economic dimension of security technology:

Investments in security are not only a cost factor but can become a job engine – with new prospects for engineers, planners and specialists from other industries. Prof. Dr. Gause speaks openly about the shortage of professorships, degree programs and research projects in the field of security technology and explains why education, universities, associations and start-ups will need to work together more closely in the future. Spin-offs and young companies also play a decisive role here. An episode for anyone who wants to understand how security technology helps shape our future – technically, economically and socially.
