Resilient against cyberattacks: German businesses rely on contingency plans

A representative study by G DATA reveals positive trends alongside organisational shortcomings
Contingency plans are well established in the German business landscape: 97 percent of companies have a basic action plan in place in the event of a successful cyberattack. This is one of the findings of the representative study “Cybersicherheit in Zahlen” by G DATA CyberDefense, Statista and brand eins. Half of the companies surveyed use technical measures to contain the incident. Only a third of those surveyed seek external support from experts. The study shows that the business sector is well on the way to achieving resilience. However, there is still a considerable need for action with regard to the necessary scope of measures.
