Prevention and protection for security-critical fields of application

Explosive growth in digitisation

In today’s digital era, cybersecurity and IT security are becoming increasingly indispensable. The days of solely human-to-human communication are gone; now, communication extends to objects, with interconnected devices interacting seamlessly. Consequently, the importance of IT security and cybersecurity continues to escalate. 

This trend revolves around several focal points, including production automation (Industry 4.0), the integration of various transportation modes with road traffic, information and communication systems in vehicles, the energy sector and healthcare. As systems and components grow more intricate and interconnected, and the data volume rises, critical infrastructure becomes increasingly susceptible to cyber attacks targeting its functionality, security and privacy. 

Statista predicts that the global count of Internet of Things (IoT) devices will nearly triple from 9.7 billion in 2020 to over 29 billion by 2030.

Companies have suddenly encountered new threat scenarios, particularly during the recent years of the pandemic. All too often, software development has prioritised fast functionality over cybersecurity and IT security. The risk lies in digitisation projects born out of necessity potentially neglecting information security, thereby jeopardising entire corporate networks.

Furthermore, many applications in both private and business sectors lack legal mandates to adhere to security standards. Conversely, critical infrastructures present another extreme, where IT sectors may face significant obstacles in meeting rigorous security standards.
