Risk, Budget, Compliance: How Companies Prioritize Their IT Security Measures

Current study by G DATA shows: companies rely more on business relevance than on short-term threat trends when protecting their IT
Which IT security measures companies implement first depends above all on their specific needs. The protection of business-critical systems and processes plays the biggest role here. This is shown by a current study, "Cybersecurity in Numbers," from G DATA CyberDefense, Statista, and brand eins. Next in line are the potential risk of damage and the available budget for IT security. Experience from previous security incidents or expectations from customers and partners, by contrast, are of secondary importance.

New feature: G DATA expands phishing simulation with customizable templates

Emails can now be individualized and aligned with internal communication patterns
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.
