Focus on cyber resilience
Focus on cyber resilience

Companies should examine their cyber resilience to ensure they can respond adequately to cyber threats. More than half of German companies (63%) expect a cyberattack within the next year, according to the results of the Cyber ​​Resilience Report. A global survey by Zscaler, a leader in cloud security, has revealed a critical discrepancy between the confidence of IT leaders worldwide in their company's ability to survive potential failure scenarios such as cyberattacks and the effectiveness of their current security approaches. Are they truly prepared for cyberattacks? According to the survey of 1 IT decision-makers conducted by Sapio1.700…

Inadequate protection against cyber risks
Inadequate protection against cyber risks

The annual research study "Absolute Security Cyber ​​Resilience Risk Index" has been published. For the current edition, Absolute Security evaluated the telemetry data of five million PCs worldwide. The results show that most industries are weeks or even months behind in fixing software vulnerabilities. Installed security tools had gaps and therefore did not work properly for a quarter of the study period. In addition, most of the company PCs examined would have to be replaced in order to be able to support AI-based technologies. These factors lead to numerous compliance and security challenges. Inadequate security tools Because they do not have automated...

The fact that political tensions are spreading into the digital space has a direct and noticeable impact on German companies. You have to ensure that you are cyber-resilient, because cyber defense at the national level in Germany has so far been quite patchy. The days when cyberattacks were primarily aimed at financial gain are over. Already at the beginning of the Ukraine war, Russian hacker groups intensified their attacks on German companies. As the Israel-Palestine conflict flares up, politically motivated attacks have continued to rise and...

Renewable energy systems inadequately secured
Renewable energy systems inadequately secured

In April 2022, a few months after the Russian attack on Ukraine began, three wind energy companies in Germany were hit by cybercriminals. The attacks paralyzed thousands of digitally controlled wind turbines. It is estimated that by 2050, the world's power systems will depend on 70 percent renewable energy, primarily from solar, wind, tidal, rain and geothermal sources. These energy sources are typically decentralized, geographically remote, and relatively small. They are often managed and operated using insufficiently secured digital technologies that are directly linked to the aging infrastructure of national electricity grids…
