Angesichts der wachsenden Bedrohungen durch Cyberangriffe auf industrielle Infrastrukturen ist es entscheidend, immer auf dem neuesten Stand zu bleiben. Anfang April besuchte einer unserer Kollegen Dr. Derk Frerichs-Mihov die Hannover Messe, um aktuelle Entwicklungen der Industrie zu verfolgen.

„Die Hannover Messe ist der perfekte Ort, um Trends zu entdecken, die für die Industrie der Zukunft relevant sind. Die Einblicke, die ich hier gewonnen habe, helfen uns, maßgeschneiderte Sicherheitslösungen für kommende Herausforderungen zu entwickeln.“

Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse fließen nun in unsere Beratungsansätze ein, um unseren Kunden auch in Zukunft innovative Sicherheitslösungen bieten zu können.
