Definition and analysis of requirements, suggestions for technical solution

The challenge

To carry out a study on behalf of the BSI to answer the question how alternative communication routes for critical business processes can be supported and implemented. The underlying question was how the Federal Government could ensure an operation centre’s communication system could remain functional in the face of a catastrophe.

Solution

DResearch contributed to the following aspects of the study:

• How can you determine the critical communication routes in a critical business process?
• Cataloguing of all supported communication routes and technologies
• Suggestion for the general architecture for an alternative crisis-proof infrastructure
• Residual risk analysis and measures for emergency event management

• What the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) think about DResearch
