Lack of awareness and isolated solutions

Safety precautions are often still not given a high priority at management level.

"Before investments are made, the child often has to fall into the well first"

criticizes Maybaum.

Another problem is that IT security solutions are often not well coordinated.

"These isolated solutions are not compatible with each other. The aim must be to create end-to-end interoperability between the IT security solutions."

"The only way to respond to multi-level malware is with networks. Everything that can be hacked will be hacked - provided it is worthwhile.

The industry must consider becoming more cooperative. A dedicated DACH organization that deals intensively with the current threats is one answer here"

says Maybaum.

In addition to current cyber threats, the core topics of the strategy summit in November are information value assessment, perceived security, industrial IT security and safeguarding the digital transformation.
