With the increasing complexity of IT systems, cybercriminals are adapting to become highly skilled experts. Remote working, the evolving Internet of Things, as well as the proliferation of cloud computing, broaden the scope of vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity solutions must therefore support the prevention, detection, and examination of attacks. It is more than a virus scanner or firewall, it is about intelligent and dynamic risk management.

When it comes to cyber security, most companies face a dilemma. If security measures are given too little importance, there is a constant risk of becoming a victim of a cyber incident. On the other hand, if companies protect themselves to the max, not only do costs rise, but business development is also slowed down. As a result, companies face increased business risks. In the eyes of Dyrisk, the answer should be a combination of intelligent, ideally AI-supported analysis and evaluation software, human expert know-how and implementation competence. Which it summarises as the Dyrisk principle.
