Cyber security – a vehicle for transformation

The number of cyberattacks in Germany is on the rise. The arrival of virtual work, Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) means companies are constantly being exposed to new vectors of attack – both on IT and OT infrastructure. In this context, the risks of data being illicitly monitored, intercepted or manipulated as well as of production stoppages are considerably higher than most businesses currently assume. Many companies underestimate the dangers of cyberspace and are therefore careless and unprepared when it comes to dealing with digital risks. The damages arising from a successful cyberattack can easily be greater than the risk tolerance of the enterprise affected.

Put simply: it is not a question of whether a cyberattack will occur – rather when. It is thus all the more important that companies develop a holistic security concept and take measures to protect their organisations against the direst consequences of cyberattacks – and do so in a sustainable manner. Organisations can defend their on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure against cyber hazards through targeted threat intelligence and incident response approaches as well as risk and crisis management systems that establish effective governance, clear responsibilities as well as comprehensive KPIs and controls. Our cyber security teams will bolster the cyber resilience of your company – from strategy to execution – both preventively and in emergencies. We will strengthen trust in your company and its digital transformation.

“Cyberattacks pose the largest digital threat for businesses. The defence and security of a company and its data therefore has to be considered as part of every business decision. This means that cyber security strategies also belong on the CEO agenda.”
