The Integrated Government Information System (IGIS) is a private government network comprising several components such as records and data management services, government email, civil registration, the IGIS portal, IGIS data center & disaster recovery center, IGIS network, and a project...

Cyber threats continue to pose significant risks to financial stability in the EU and beyond. The persistently heightened cyber threat environment in Europe is evidenced by the sabotage of undersea telecommunications cables, the disruptions to systems in large banks and third-party providers,...

Over the past decade, digital connectivity has emerged as a critical new form of infrastructure, akin to roads, energy or ports-underpinning economic growth and social development. In Papua New Guinea (PNG), the advent of digital connectivity has opened up new avenues for communication,...

Digital infrastructure - data centres and telecommunication networks - are at the heart of the digital transformation, underpinning all aspects of our increasingly digitalised and connected societies. Demand for their services is rising rapidly, raising concerns about their energy use and...

The study examines the influence of implicit beliefs on cybersecurity behaviour among employees in German organizations. We address a significant gap in the existing literature related to companies' struggle to implement effective cybersecurity defence strategies. Despite recognizing cybercrime...

Information flows, and thus information technology (IT) are central to the structure of firms and markets. Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, we provide firm-level evidence that increases in IT intensity are associated with increases in firm size and concentration in both employment and...

Dieses Discussion Paper ist ein Plädoyer für eine dringend notwendige Perspektivverschiebung: Von der Konzentration der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung auf die im Alltagsleben allgegenwärtigen Plattformen des konsum- und kommunikationsbasierten Internets hin zur Untersuchung der weit...

Data centres are estimated to have the fastest growing energy consumption and carbon footprint across the whole ICT sector, mainly due to technological advances such as cloud computing and the rapid growth of the use of Internet services. In the EU, from 2010 to 2018 data centre energy...

Data centers are among the fastest-growing electricity consumers, raising concerns about their impact on grid operations and decarbonization goals. Their temporal flexibility--the ability to shift workloads over time--offers a source of demand-side flexibility. We model power systems in three...

The current rapid digital transformation is characterized by an increase in the generation, use and transmission of data, and IT infrastructure, which in turn leads to an increased energy and resource consumption. Therefore in view of the EU Green Deal and related policy strategies, the digital...

Der Einsatz von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) ist sowohl mit positiven als auch negativen Effekten verbunden. Der negative Nachhaltigkeitsbeitrag besteht z. B. im Ressourcenverbrauch für die Herstellung der einzelnen Komponenten (z. B. Antennen für die Basisstationen des...

Der Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) schafft erstmalig eine EU-einheitliche Regulatorik für operationale Betriebsstabilität. Ziele sind operationale Resilienz, Leistungsfähigkeit und Stabilität. Für Versicherungsunternehmen entstehen dadurch vielfältige neue und umfangreichere...

In this research report, we present a new version of IT Modeling Language (ITML). It is integrated with the family of Domain-Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs) that are part of Multi-Perspective Enterprise Modeling (MEMO). The design of the language followed a proven method. It provides for...

Information technologies (IT) architecture and infrastructure is a significant cost item, especially for enterprises with complex production infrastructure and equipment that require automated and digital devices to collect and process primary data on technological and production processes. Most...

The urbanization problems we face may be alleviated using innovative digital technology.However, employing these technologies entails the risk of creating new urban problems and/orintensifying the old ones instead of alleviating them. Hence, in a world with immense technologicalopportunities and...

Mit der zunehmenden Digitalisierung und Vernetzung in der Bankenbranche ist das Bedrohungspotenzial für die IKT von Banken stetig gestiegen. Jüngere Beispiele von schweren IKT-Sicherheitsvorfällen verdeutlichen die Relevanz einer resilienten IKT. Durch den Digital Operational Resilience Act...

As the productivity of the European economy shows signs of slowing down, many hopes are pinned on digital technologies to reverse this trend. This study uses data from the EIBIS 2019 survey to examine whether the adoption of different digital technologies (such as advanced robotics, 3D printing,...

The development of the Green Public Procurement (GPP) criteria for Data Centres, Server Rooms and Cloud Services is aimed at helping public authorities to ensure that data centres' equipment and services are procured in such a way that they deliver environmental improvements that contribute to...

La infraestructura de interconexión y distribución de contenidos en Internet en América Latina se ha desarrollado significativamente en los últimos años. Si bien se constatan las mismas heterogeneidades que cuando analizamos cualquier indicador social o económico, en términos generales,...

This dissertation is based on a longitudinal ethnographic study of organizational changes in a Nordic bank. Taking as a point of departure, an empirical observation of lower-level organizational members consistently identifying other organizational changes as radical than those indicated by top...
