Post-Quantum-Risiken erkennen und handeln

By Christian Ulmer • May 20, 2025

Quantencomputer entwickeln sich fortlaufend – und mit ihnen entsteht ein neues Bedrohungsszenario für einen der Grundpfeiler digitaler Sicherheit: Kryptografie. Verfahren, auf denen heute Vertraulichkeit, Integrität und Authentizität beruhen, könnten in naher Zukunft angreifbar werden. Besonders relevant ist das Szenario „Harvest Now, Decrypt Later“ (HNDL) : Dabei werden verschlüsselte Daten bereits heute abgefangen – in der Erwartung, dass sie in einigen Jahren mit Quantenressourcen entschlüsselt werden können. Diese Bedrohung entfaltet ihre Wirkung zeitverzögert, doch das Risiko ist bereits real. Unternehmen, die heute Daten speichern oder übertragen, müssen damit rechnen, dass diese Informationen ab etwa 2030 bis 2035 entschlüsselt werden könnten. Wer langfristig denkt, sollte seine Sicherheitsarchitektur deshalb schon jetzt auf dieses Zeitfenster vorbereiten.

Zero Trust & Risikomanagement: Vertrauen ist (k)eine Strategie

By Christian Ulmer • May 8, 2025

In der digitalen Welt verlassen sich Systeme, Anwendungen und Nutzende oft auf implizites Vertrauen : Geräte gelten als sicher, weil sie managed oder Teil des firmenweiten Netzwerkes sind. Mitarbeitende erhalten Berechtigungen, weil sie eine Rolle innehaben. Doch genau dieses Vertrauen ist in einer vernetzten und dynamischen Bedrohungslage häufig die eigentliche Schwachstelle . Zero Trust (ZT) adressiert dieses strukturelle Problem – und bietet die Grundlage für ein moderneres, risikoangepasstes Sicherheitsmanagement.

Beyond All-Stars: How Cohesion and Purpose Drive Security Team Success

By Ric Longenecker, Christian Ulmer • September 3, 2024

Legendary Basketball coach Phil Jackson one said, “ The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team .” Jackson had the opportunity to coach a number of great players – such as Michael Jordan – and is the highest (championship) winning coach in history. Winning 11 NBA championships in his 20 years of coaching, to be precise. Jackson’s secret to success? 11 principles developed over the years, a few listed below: Principle 1. Lead from the inside out Principle 2. Bench the ego Principle 3. Let each player discover their own destiny Principle 7. The key to success is compassion Our experience at CySafe has shown that great Information Security cannot simply be attained through large investments or a roster of “All Star” team members alone. It must be largely based on purpose, effectiveness, appropriate size, and cohesiveness of the team in itself – as well as the larger organization. A team with mission often is effective, be it defending the organization from attacks or getting a security program implemented.

CISOs and the Board: Why it matters more than ever

By Ric Longenecker • August 26, 2024

Following up on our post about security strategy , we’re going to take a focus on executive communication. Security leaders frequently encounter advice on how to present to boards, with general tips like "limit metrics," "tell stories," and "find your security champion." While these pointers can be helpful, the details of how, actual frequency, and especially board fails are very rarely widely discussed. There’s a few reasons behind these gaps. Board communication is in fact hard in reality. It can sometimes be chaotic and stressful, especially for new or blossoming executives. And success sells, fails don’t.

Cyber Security

An effective and efficient cybersecurity posture is crucial for today's businesses. Enterprises and services constantly face cyber attacks, and the use of artificial intelligence makes it increasingly challenging to detect and respond to phishing and other threats.

Cloud services facilitate a rapid go-to-market strategy for new services, with data processed by cloud service providers and other players in the value chain worldwide, in dynamically changing locations.

Maintaining control requires a 360-degree approach and the implementation of a Defense-in-Depth strategy that covers people, processes, and technology-related aspects of security.

We believe that security solutions should be as unique as your business. CySafe provides access to a network of subject matter experts who solve specific problems with tailored solutions.
