Public Clouds are the driving force for current information processing structures. Without them, neither worldwide information exchange and usage of IT services out of the box (SaaS - software as a service) nor the event of ML and especially LLM based artificial intelligence would have been possible. Therefore, they really deserve an own lecture and every computer science student should have the chance to participate and learn about what are today's data centers and where all this marvelous services and data comes from.
The lecture "Public Cloud Computing" is now continuously held since 5 years and we welcome everybody who wants to get insights in this interesting real world topic !
Information Security is way more than a buzz word. Beside being a legal necessity (e.g. DSGVO, DORA, etc.), a moral duty and a competitive advantage (if it really there and available if needed), the ideas, theories and the concrete procedures are also an active research topic in computer science. Current computer science approaches like LLMs and edge/fog computing allow completely different approaches compared to the past years. This starts at “Where is this new XY act applicable for my environment?” that can be discussed with LLM's help on an abstract level and goes down to a network level where autonomous detection and reaction can be automatized.
Utilizing the chances and staying aware of hallucinations and other LLM side effects is key to be able to operate a heavily growing amount of structures while still having an overview over risk situations, critical exploits and the status of measures and actions to be taken.
