News in Brief
secunet on Twitter, Xing and LinkedIn
Social media have not only changed
the way we interact with each other as
individuals but have also become an essential
means of communication in the
business world. In 2012, we extended
our online presence to Twitter, Xing and
LinkedIn, aiming to use these media
to increase our availability to secunet
customers and partners, and to explore
with them the issues of the moment surrounding
IT security.
Via our corporate profiles on the Xing
and LinkedIn business platforms, we
offer existing and future customers as
well as potential recruits to our ranks a
quick and convenient way of getting in
touch with us.
Professional associations and the German
Federal Chancellery have long had
their own presence here. We are now
using our Twitter page – @secunet_AG –
to inform our customers and other interested
users about the latest developments
in the world of IT security. We go
beyond relaying news from and about
our own company, picking up on a wide
range of IT security issues as these
affect the private and public sectors. We
publish up-to-the-minute alerts on current
security vulnerabilities and engage
in a fruitful exchange of views and opinions
with the online communities.

New Federal Framework
Agreement on IT Security
Services
New Appointment
at the
BSI
Since August 2012, federal authorities
have been able to call on secunet to
provide IT security services under the
terms of two new framework agreements
with the German Federal Office
for Information Security (BSI). In association
with HiSolutions AG, secunet was
once again successful in its bid for the
contract to supply IT security consulting
services to the German federal government.
The new agreements cover general
consulting services for IT security
in federal authorities, consultancy in the
field of e-government tasks and projects,
the implementation of security
audits and reviews, and the drafting of
IT security and emergency concepts.
secunet will further be supporting the
federal government in the performance
of security analyses designed to identify
and resolve vulnerabilities in IT systems
and processes. More information can
be found on the federal government’s
online procurement portal Kaufhaus
des Bundes at https://www.kd-bund.de
(NB: access only with certificate) and
on the federal government intranet at
http://kdb.intranet.bund.de.
