Over the past two years, one in three companies in Germany has had its IT systems attacked. Protecting technologies, data and company workflows is increasingly becoming a competitive factor for companies.
Cyber attacks are now a challenge facing both companies and private individuals. Around one million people are affected by this every day and European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmström, estimates that victims world-wide lose around €290bn each year. As a result of increased workflow digitisation and system networking, there is a growing risk of falling prey to cyber crime, for instance, through digital identity theft. That's why companies today should better protect their workflows and business secrets and identify security-critical data as early as possible. Bundesdruckerei is a global leader in Secure ID and has developed the Full ID | Governance solution kit which provides companies and organisations with the technologies, services and know-how to analyse and implement secure processes, especially for use in security-critical areas. But the victims are not just companies in the private sector, public agencies are also increasingly becoming the target of cyber attacks. According to Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, the domestic intelligence service of the Federal Republic of Germany, an average of three cyber attacks against the IT infrastructure of federal agencies were registered every day in 2012. Solutions from Bundesdruckerei are going a long way to help establish here a culture of security.
