Last fetched
Fraunhofer IOSB is a threat actor tracked in WhisperGraph's MITRE ATT&CK corpus, observed using 0 techniques.
Description
The Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies, and Image Exploitation (Fraunhofer IOSB) is a research organization based in Karlsruhe, Germany. It develops what they market as "intelligent video surveillance systems" which includes AI-driven image analysis and tracking movement patterns. The institute has been a key partner in Mannheim's pilot surveillance project, which began in 2018. The system, which includes 76 cameras installed in what they consider to be "high-crime areas", transmits surveillance data to the Mannheim Police Headquarters via a sealed fiber-optic network.
