With increasing digitalization, the risks of cyber attacks have also been increasing for years. As a result, processes, customer data and company secrets have long been considered critical information. Many companies have recognized this threat and have already invested heavily in expanding their security infrastructure. Various legal provisions have also created a regulatory framework.

The problem is that it often takes several months before a cyber attack is detected, giving attackers plenty of time to look around the company and steal valuable information or use encryption to prepare for blackmail.

An attack detection system makes it possible to detect a cyber attack at an early stage and initiate an immediate response. The SzA acts as an alarm system and, thanks to its holistic approach, the information from all monitored systems is brought together and evaluated centrally. This rapid response prevents damage and saves the attacker time. It is not without reason that KRITIS operators are now forced to act and must implement an SCA by May 1, 2023. In doing so, they also fulfill the requirements of BSIG §8a. We are happy to support you with a wide range of services relating to this topic.
