If the Corona app were to become established in Germany

[bhasan01854]

Despite all the hype about the opportunities and possibilities of digitalization , it is important to be aware of the risks and to take decisive action to counteract them. From a European perspective, many Corona apps appear to have been hastily put together. On the one hand, this is aimed at functionality, but on the other hand, data protection and IT security are rightly being questioned by many.

Internet activists and large parts of the population viber database therefore suspect a number of political taboos being broken, especially in data protection issues – and this is happening at a rapid pace that hardly allows for any social discourse.

As TÜViT, we want to participate in the public discussion as an independent testing institution and place the perspective of verifiable data security at the center of the debate. Only if we succeed in doing this will we create lasting trust in digital solutions - especially in times of the corona pandemic.
