Cyber Resilience as Capital Planning: Quantifying Risk
<div cla For decades, the cybersecurity budgethas been treated as part of Operational Expenditure (OpEx), a necessary “tax” on doing business, much like insurance or electricity. Security leaders have traditionally fought for budgets based on fear, uncertainty, and doubt, often struggling to justify the return on investment for tools that ideally result in “no change”.…

Quanten-Computing Warum Unternehmen dem Q-Day nicht ausgeliefert sind
Durchaus besorgt warnen Cybersicherheitsexperten seit Jahren vor dem sogenannten ‘Q-Day”. Dabei handelt es sich um einen hypothetischen Tag in der Zukunft oder eher einen Zeitpunkt, zu dem Quantencomputer in der Lage sein werden, gängige Verschlüsselungsmethoden zu knacken. Was einst als fernes, theoretisches Risiko galt, wird womöglich rascher zur Realität als ursprünglich angenommen. Fortschritte in […]…
