Dear Readers,
irrespective of whether we operate in the public or private sector, we are
all doing business more and more in cyber space; we are thus increasingly
dependent on the secure and uninterrupted functioning of digital information
and communication technologies. If we are to maintain security of information,
data and processes on a permanent basis, we must continuously adapt to
the shifting level and nature of the threat posed by hackers and the methods
they employ. The detailed exchange of information and experiences between
industry, government agencies and experts not only facilitates a high degree
of transparency but also makes the job of prevention easier for us all. One
of the platforms for such exchanges is the Allianz für Cyber-Sicherheit (Alliance
for Cyber Security) founded by the German Federal Offi ce for Information
Security (BSI) and the Federal Association for Information Technology,
Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM). We spoke with Dr Hartmut
Isselhorst from BSI about the aims and objectives of the Alliance.
Here at secunet, we also intend to place the exchange of ideas with our
customers on a more direct footing; consequently, we have undertaken an
internal restructuring designed to make us more fl exible in the way we cater
for your needs, aspirations and demands. We will thus be able to respond
more effi ciently and quickly to current developments in the cyber world and to
offer you, our customers, optimum proactive and innovative support as you
rise to future challenges and implement new projects.
- Our Public Sector (formerly High Security and Government Division) advises
clients from the public sector and the defence industry both here in
Germany and abroad, proposing current products and services that can
be combined for specifi c circumstances as well as customised security
solutions. These are fully compatible with any modern administration, they
are capable of handling jobs at the highest level and they comply with highsecurity
specifi cations for the protection of classifi ed information.
- Our Business Sector (formerly Business Security and Automotive Security
Division) helps private business clients to fully exploit the potential of increased
digitisation and the associated electronic mapping of business processes,
and also to securely map intelligent networks, mobile applications,
IT-based control of production/logistics operations and the digitisation
of transport and traffi c systems.
The areas in which we excel and our achievements to date are a matter of
record. We now present some of the latest developments in this edition of
secuview.
I hope you enjoy reading our magazine.
Best wishes
