Leadership vs. Management, what exactly are the differences? And what is needed in both areas to meet the current challenges?
In which Article reports the Rheinzeitung about the cyberwar that arose from the Ukraine war. The internet has now become a battleground for hackers to attack businesses, government agencies and emergency services. Founders Tim and Immanuel use their live attack parser as an effective tool.
This live attack parser is particularly effective against attacks by the Russian hacker group "Killnet". Killnet activates up to 70.000 jammers, all accessing designated landing pages simultaneously. This classic distributed denial of service is reinforced with Killnet's proprietary software via automatic browser updates. The aim here is always to limit the institution's Internet presence or not to reach it at all.
In the case of complex IT structures, standard solutions from software companies always end up in costly customizations. Due to the many inquiries to ProSec, the search for the origins began. Forums were discovered where hackers organize their networks and plan attacks. Dates for mass attacks are published here. ProSec was able to infiltrate these quickly and develop a scanner to detect the attacks. These counterattacks also led to the groups disbanding themselves and Killnet had to start all over again. "That was a great success for us," Tim continued in the report. Around 55 followers were temporarily eliminated in this way
The idea of constantly publishing known dates, attack targets and addresses of the attackers came about in order to provide the security officers in the vulnerable areas with important basic information.
In addition to the great activity of the Russians, pro-Ukrainian Internet activists are also on social networks to discredit German companies that maintain business relationships with Russia. The collective term "Bloodytrade" describes companies with Russian participation. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution warns of this phenomenon in its "Security Instructions for Business". The campaigns would even affect smaller companies that are regionally active, which only send goods to Russia in exceptional cases.
The impact on the industry is that specialists are in demand. Ten vacancies could be filled. The signs point to growth. ProSec will build its own campus in Mendig, which should be ready by the end of 2023.
