IT Security and Cybercrime

The threat of cyber-attacks has intensified significantly for businesses and supply chains in recent years. Rising to these challenges calls for good IT security and resilience, which in turn require proactive cybersecurity programs that adapt to rapidly changing circumstances and, in particular, satisfy the requirements of data protection law, organizational policies and the workplace and supervisory regulations of the company concerned (cybersecurity by design). In reactive terms, it means responding appropriately to ongoing cyber-attacks—including cybersecurity investigations, crisis and continuity management, and resolving problems after an incident—while also taking into consideration the company’s associated responsibilities and the people affected.
