Every now and then you hear and read about macros in Office applications, about documents in which macros are included. These are often sent by e-mail and can lead to dangerous security incidents.
Of course, RWTH Aachen University and the IT Center have taken security measures in this regard. But not everyone is aware of what macros actually are and how dangerous they are not only for private individuals but also for companies. In the following, we will inform you about the most important risks and explain how you can protect yourself.
Mobile campus networks – implementation with WLAN or 5G
What are mobile campus networks?
Mobile campus networks are characterised by locally or regionally limited network coverage and administration. Mostly, these networks are based on mobile radio technology and are usually used by industrial companies or university institutions for their individual needs and requirements. These networks are managed either by the company concerned, the university itself, a commissioned telecommunications operator or a network supplier. A combination is also possible.

We have often reported in our blog about the Zoom video conferencing software and its provision for RWTH Aachen University by the Center for Teaching and Learning Services (CLS). However, few people will know that the IT Center and the CLS are cooperating at this point to make logging into Zoom as easy as possible for users. Therefore, in this post, we want to give you a brief crash course on logging into Zoom.

The future of mobility remains exciting: Rapid technological progress is opening up entirely new possibilities for the car of the future. Thanks to automated driving, we will be chauffeured from door to door in self-driving cars. Traffic jams, accidents and environmental damage could soon be a thing of the past. The realisation of this vision is approaching in leaps and bounds. RWTH Aachen University is actively helping to shape this mobility transformation.
