Drones instead of trackside routes: DB plans automated monitoring to prevent tampering and disruptions

GIT: Dr. Hennies, a lot is changing at Deutsche Bahn - we'll talk about that in a moment. Could you start by outlining yourself, your professional background and your own vision for corporate security? 

Patrick Hennies: I can now look back on almost two years at Deutsche Bahn. A time in which I was able to get to know a new world. In my professional life so far, I have gained a wide range of experience - in Europe, in Asia, worldwide and in very different cultures. Every day it becomes clearer to me why so many people talk about Deutsche Bahn as a world of its own. In the security sector, we work with state-of-the-art technology and AI, and yet much remains analog. One example of this is the gigantic infrastructure, access to which cannot be locked like a factory site. We produce 365 days a year, 24/7 under the constant supervision of politicians and our owner and always live in front of an audience of millions.

...in principle an almost unmanageable task?
