Analysen und Handlungsempfehlungen zu Cybersicherheit, regulatorischen Pflichten und operativer Resilienz — geschrieben für die Menschen, die die Verantwortung tragen.
Two weeks after a US government directive withdrew Anthropic's most capable models from all users — including the restricted group created specifically to handle them — neither model has returned to service.
Vulnerability management is no longer about scanning systems and producing long lists of findings. Most organisations already have more vulnerabilities than they can fix immediately. The real challenge is prioritisation.
Not every cybersecurity incident becomes a crisis. But when cyber disruption affects customers, operations, revenue, safety, regulatory obligations, or public confidence, it becomes a business crisis.
Incident response is one of the clearest indicators of cybersecurity maturity. The question is not whether an organisation has a document called an incident response plan. The question is whether the organisation can execute it under pressure.
Threat intelligence is most valuable when it improves decisions. Too often, organisations collect threat feeds, reports, indicators, and alerts without translating them into action.
Cyber resilience is the ability of an organisation to prepare for, withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber disruption. It recognises a hard truth that not every attack can be prevented.
Cybersecurity insurance has become an important part of enterprise risk management, but it is often misunderstood. It does not replace security controls, incident response capability, governance, or operational resilience.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act introduces cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements. It entered into force on 10 December 2024, making cybersecurity a product lifecycle obligation for manufacturers, software providers, importers, and distributors.
NIS2 represents a major expansion of cybersecurity expectations across the European Union, placing stronger emphasis on management responsibility, cyber risk governance, incident reporting, and supply chain security.
The EU Digital Operational Resilience Act entered into application on 17 January 2025 and applies to a broad range of financial entities. Its objective is to strengthen the ability of financial entities to withstand, respond to and recover from ICT-related disruption.
Governance, risk and compliance is often misunderstood as documentation, policy ownership, and audit preparation. Effective GRC should connect business objectives, risk appetite, controls, accountability, evidence, and decision-making.
Third-party risk management is moving beyond annual questionnaires and static due diligence packs. That model is no longer sufficient for the speed, complexity, and dependency levels of modern digital business.
The UK National Cyber Security Centre's Cyber Assessment Framework is designed to help organisations assess and improve cyber security and resilience, focusing on outcomes rather than simply prescribing a list of controls.
ISO/IEC 27001 remains one of the most recognised international standards for information security management. Its value lies not only in certification, but in the management system it creates.
Cyber hygiene refers to the foundational security practices that reduce the likelihood and impact of common attacks. It may not sound sophisticated, but it remains one of the most important areas of cybersecurity.
