A central problem for IT security in Germany is and remains that companies do not take warnings about vulnerabilities or security risks seriously. They continue to underestimate the real risk to themselves of a cyber attack and rely on the principle of hope to see them through. Yet many people forget that Germany has already reached a high degree of digitisation. Digital processes and communication support companies when they keep records, talk to their customers, store information and manage knowledge. Security in supplying digital information is as existential as electricity or water.
On top of that, those who strengthen the digital security of their company can also use this as a competitive advantage. This is proven by our current study, “Cybersecurity in Numbers”. Almost 45 percent of those surveyed would not want to work in a company where the approach to the subject of IT security is too lax. IT security is therefore of central importance - especially in view of the ever-increasing shortage of skilled workers.
An effective combination of security solutions and employees trained in cyber risk is needed. This kind of holistic IT security strategy enables companies to position themselves for the future. It is of vital importance that they act now because, in view of the tense economic situation, no company can afford sales losses or operational downtime caused by an IT security incident.
