Sharing data in a secure environment
When sensitive information is involved, such as personal, financial or business-critical data, data must be shared securely. This is important to protect privacy and security, prevent misuse, and meet legal and regulatory requirements. Data sharing is also essential to foster collaboration, innovation and research. On-site data access via the Data Cube on the premises of University Library Mannheim can ensure the secure handling of sensitive data, enabling both data protection and the benefits of data sharing.
