In an era of geopolitical tensions and digital warfare, companies often find themselves isolated on the front lines. Cyberspace has become a battlefield where not only nations but also independent companies can be targets of hostile attacks. Being hacked is not a question of “if”, but of “when”. In the face of global cyberwar, companies are constantly at risk of being threatened – often without knowing it.
Many IT managers, CEOs and CIOs of companies with a long-term perspective who really want to advance their IT feel fear and uncertainty about whether their company can be hacked. In addition, uncertainty about where vulnerabilities exist, Und die lack of time in the teams to really deal with IT security. Most of them then turn to their existing IT service providers or try to create security themselves using new and quickly available IT security products. Others could solve the problems, but get not the necessary budget.
I will now show you why this is a mistake and what better alternatives there are.
My name is Tim Schughart and I am the founder of ProSec. We are an IT security company made up of experienced hackers and management consultants. We are people who are deeply rooted in the hacker scene and have a strong understanding of corporate structures. This combination enables us to provide truly sustainable protection for companies.
We never lose sight of our goal: to protect you from hackers. That is why we put utility before profit and reject orders that lead to a false sense of security. We enter into conflict if someone does not want real security.
Many anti-democratic states and profit-oriented hacker groups regularly carry out dramatic cyber attacks. We help security authorities and companies to actively resist and defend themselves. Whether it is intelligence cooperation, political advice or support for the local police authority – We want a safe Europe and a safe Germany.
We have been pursuing this goal with more than 70 absolute specialists, every day, around the clock, for over 10 years – simply because ethical hacking is our passion.
As the person responsible for IT security, you actually have always too few resources for the current situation because budget decision-makers do not have sufficient understanding of the risk of hacker attacks. They therefore rely on IT security products that supposedly increase security. Or they outsource responsibility for IT security to their service providers and hope that everything goes well. But has this led to real security?
We know that every second German company has been attacked in recent years. Companies need a form of IT security that REALLY offers security. This does not always require new technologies, expensive products and service providers who only want to sell.
What is needed are clear recommendations from hackerswho are deeply involved in the scene and know exactly which weak points need to be closed with an existing or new product from the existing service provider – and which are not relevant.
We translate our nerd world with years of experience for all levels in the company up to the C-level and help to seamlessly transfer measures into an ISMS. Our “bottom-up” approach – realistically converting bottom-up measures into a top-down approach based on facts – is what we do. We see ourselves as a guide, as a partner and sometimes as a friend who is always honest and wants the best for you. This requires radical honesty and absolutely authentic advice for your goals.
We always start with a realistic cyber attack - without causing any damage, of course! This gives us an overview of your IT situation. Whether it's shadow IT or negligence among the workforce, we uncover every risk. In a workshop, we develop an action plan based on the results.
We then hold a meeting with the management to make holistic decisions (e.g. more budget, human resources, etc.). This results in a realistic action plan, and we provide you with technical and organizational support in its implementation.
We carry out our attacks during a pentest (if requested) live with the customer in order to transfer knowledge - we have no trade secrets. Training is carried out where it is necessary - it only makes sense if the customer is able to implement measures themselves.
We understand that cybersecurity is not just about technology, but also about people. Our approach is different by creating an environment that encourages openness and constructive dialogue. Instead of fueling internal conflict when vulnerabilities are identified, we work hand in hand with all departments and existing IT service providers to develop effective and consensus-based solutions.
We don’t just help resolve conflicts – we prevent them by establishing a sense of togetherness and shared responsibility for cybersecurity.
Since our founding, we have carried out well over a thousand pentests and consultations with top management. Countless organizations and top management trust our expertise and our ability to uncover gaps with the best hackers and then convert them into truly functioning ISMS (ISO 27000, BSI Grundschutz).
