G DATA CyberDefense is expanding its phishing simulation with customizable templates, allowing phishing training to better reflect real company situations. This enables companies to design training emails more realistically and make risks visible. As a result, they gain important information about the state of security awareness within their workforce. Phishing emails today still look deceptively genuine. They pick up on familiar processes, imitate internal communication, and pressure employees using urgency, authority, or curiosity.

G DATA CyberDefense is strengthening its management team in the partner business: Marie-Christin Kippar is taking on the role of Head of Channel & Alliances. In her new role, she will be responsible for the strategic expansion and further development of the German cybersecurity provider’s ‘Channel-First’ strategy. The sales expert is committed to sustainable growth within the channel. She also aims to make it easier for businesses to access high-performance cybersecurity solutions “Made in Germany”.

The Nordanex network is expanding its portfolio of cybersecurity solutions and welcomes G DATA CyberDefense AG as a new partner within the network. Furthermore, G DATA is participating as a premium vendor in the Nordanex Managed Services (NMS) programme. Together, the two companies aim to support IT system integrators with modern security solutions and managed security services, and to strengthen cybersecurity within the channel in the long term.

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.
