Three-quarters of IT security and management decision-makers say IT security is being compromised by a shortage of skilled staff. At the same time, the growing use of artificial intelligence is intensifying the threat landscape. But AI is not only part of the problem — it is also playing an increasingly important role in defending against attacks. These are among the findings of the sixth edition of "Cybersecurity in Numbers," the representative study by G DATA CyberDefense, brand eins, and Statista, based on 5,000 respondents. The current issue is available now.

G DATA CyberDefense has achieved the highest distinction with its new XDR solution at the first attempt in the latest Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Test conducted by AV-Comparatives. The independent testing institute awarded G DATA XDR “Certified Leader” status. The security solution stopped all simulated attacks before they were able to compromise critical systems. G DATA XDR achieved this result using its standard configuration, without any additional adjustments or optimizations. At the same time, neither false positives nor workflow delays resulted in additional operational costs.

Phishing remains one of the most common entry points for cyberattacks on businesses. To help employees identify fraudulent messages more reliably, G DATA CyberDefense has launched a new practical Security Awareness Training course: “Phishing Alert! Can You Spot the Warning Signs?”. Available free of charge to existing customers, the course consists of three 15-minute modules based on real phishing messages. Participants learn how to recognize suspicious details and identify the psychological tactics used by cybercriminals.
