IT security starts at the top, but it can't stay there
A company must be economically, securely and sustainably positioned. IT security plays an increasingly important role in this – and is becoming more complex from year to year. It is no longer just about the right technologies.
IT security is a matter for the boss, a management task and a question of corporate culture – all at once.
Nowadays, security needs a clear strategy, the right technologies – and above all, all employees! In times of advancing digitalization and increasing networking with more internet-enabled devices than employees, the vulnerability of organizations is growing and it is no longer sufficient to hand over responsibility to the IT team. All three pillars of resilient cyber security must be considered: strategic measures, modern security technologies and awareness raising among all employees.
Security must be a top priority and is crucial to a company’s success. Those who do not deal with it comprehensively now risk the future of the company.
