Research topics
I am focusing on the introduction, development and tool-supported optimization of Identity Management solutions within organizations. The target group for the research results is mid- and large-sized companies which are looking for secure and efficient user management.Based on a profound and understandable scientific methodology, their user management is improved, related administrative costs are reduced, security vulnerabilitiesare closed and governance and compliance initiatives are supported.
Short biography
Dr. Ludwig Fuchs studied Information Systems (Wirtschaftsinformatik) at the University of Regensburg, Germany and had completed his dissertation in the area in 2009. In between 2004 and 2009 he studied and researched at the University of York (UK) and the University of Texas (San Antonio, USA) together with well-known academics in the field of IT security (e.g. Prof. Dr. Ravi Sandhu, “RBAC”). His main research interest comprises Identity Management within mid-sized and large organizations. Over the last ten years, Ludwig Fuchs gathered practical and academic experience and published the results at several international IT security conferences. His expert knowledge has additionally been underlined throughout his work in several industry projects, bridging the gap between practical requirements and latest academic research results.
