Partner ecosystems for cyber resilience
Partner ecosystems for cyber resilience

Cyber ​​resilience is a prerequisite for maintaining the availability of business processes in an increasingly vulnerable digital economy. Platform solutions for proactive defense and automated, clean cyber recovery are central to rebuilding functioning infrastructures. Given such complex tasks, collaboration within the company, among manufacturers, and with cloud service providers and partners is the only way to achieve and maintain cyber resilience. With artificial intelligence as a significant resident of the ecosystem, achieving cyber resilience is crucial. Only the collaboration of all stakeholders can develop effective collaborative platforms with the goal of creating comprehensive technology and service packages for sustainable...

Industry neglects OT and IoT security
Industry neglects OT and IoT security

The "OT+IoT Cybersecurity Report 2024" reveals the serious security flaws that still exist in industry. The software of networked devices, machines, and systems is particularly affected. The majority of companies have no idea how to respond appropriately to a cyberattack. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has determined that an average of more than 2.000 new software vulnerabilities are discovered each month, of which approximately 15 percent are classified as "critical." "Given this constant threat, German industry should further strengthen its cyber resilience in 2025," advises Jan…

Implementing NIS-2 even without national law
Implementing NIS-2 even without national law

Although there is still no national implementation of the EU NIS-2 Directive in Germany, companies should take action now. Cyber ​​threats are constantly increasing. External service providers support organizations in becoming NIS-2 compliant and protecting business-critical and sensitive processes. The political agreement on the law to implement the EU NIS-2 Directive and strengthen cyber security failed before the federal election. The SPD, Greens and FDP were unable to agree on key points. This means that more than two years after the EU Directive was passed, the urgently needed legal tightening has not taken place. The implementation deadline is being pushed further...

Cyber ​​security in companies has developed significantly in recent years - but so have the techniques used by cyber criminals. But more is changing: what is the significance of generative AI (GenAI) and the shortage of skilled workers? Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) should prepare for new developments in cyber security. The cyber threat landscape is becoming increasingly complex, and new attack patterns and techniques are putting existing cyber defenses to the test - a challenge for companies and their security officers. It remains difficult for them to respond quickly and appropriately to the rapidly changing situation. Difficulties, different...

Recovery: Companies change strategy after an attack
Recovery: Companies change strategy after an attack

2024 IT and IT security managers took part in the study for the Cyber ​​Recovery Readiness Report 1000. It showed that companies that fell victim to unauthorized access to data changed their behavior in securing data and thus significantly accelerated their recovery. The 2024 Cyber ​​Recovery Readiness Report study, conducted by Commvault in collaboration with GigaOM in eleven countries, shows that companies that have suffered a cyber incident in the past have comprehensively reassessed their data security and positioned themselves better. The effect of the additional investments and...

Concepts against AI-based cyber attacks
B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

AI-based attacks and the best defense: The topic of artificial intelligence continues to be omnipresent. AI is said to have similar potential to the steam engine or electricity. The field of cyber security is also being turned upside down by AI. In particular, AI-based attacks and the best defense against them are the focus of many discussions. AI-based attacks are very likely to be even more sophisticated, targeted and persistent than previous human attacks, which makes it extremely difficult to detect and fend off these attacks. AI-based attacks will therefore make attackers more likely to penetrate corporate networks and make them even more difficult to detect there.
