by

In the current world situation, where cyber threats are growing exponentially at a rapid pace, the European Union has taken a decisive step towards increased security with the introduction of the NIS2 Directive. The expanded set of rules not only serves as a guide for the protection of network and information systems, but also puts the focus on critical infrastructures (CRITIS) - the heart of our modern society.

Perhaps you are also one of the 270 million people who actively used Microsoft Teams on a daily basis last year?

IT security and the metaverse

A "revolutionary approach" or the "new Internet": There is no stinginess with superlatives when it comes to the topic of metaversum. Today's two-dimensional text and image landscapes on the monitors of our end devices are to become three-dimensional worlds of experience and shopping in the future.

This will also open up new sales and growth opportunities for companies. But what does the metaverse mean for companies and organisations in terms of their IT security?

The internet is integrated into almost all aspects of our daily lives. However, when systems connected to the internet are connected to (e.g. critical) systems that have a direct impact on our economic prosperity, our livelihoods or even our health, insecure technologies and IT vulnerabilities open the door to cyber criminals and can create serious potential security risks.

The latest appeal from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) to manufacturers of IT solutions is therefore clear and unequivocal: make your information technology products more secure!

Four good reasons to pursue a career as a CISO

Google experts warn of cyberattacks by Chinese hacking group APT41

As infrastructures and devices become increasingly digitised and interconnected, the potential attack surface for successful cyberattacks also grows. The position of Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is therefore becoming increasingly common in Germany. Since he is responsible for the comprehensive cyber security strategy in companies or organisations - and thus essentially for the protection of sensitive data - the demands on professional and personal skills are immensely high. The long career path to becoming a CISO usually pays off: An attractive salary and good promotion prospects are just two of the advantages that come with the job as CISO. It is precisely the diverse challenges of the job description that offer the CISO great career potential.
