asvin and FTAPI enter into cybersecurity partnership
The strategic alliance between the two companies strengthens the digital sovereignty of European companies and public authorities. The focus is on tailor-made cyber resilience solutions.
Stuttgart/Munich, May 2025 – Cyber risk management specialist asvin GmbH and secure data exchange platform provider FTAPI are combining their expertise in cyber and information security. The aim of the partnership is to provide companies and public authorities with tailor-made solutions that are consistently aligned with European data protection and security standards.
Geopolitical upheavals, hybrid threat scenarios and regulatory burdens are increasing operational risks in industry and administration. In a joint interview, asvin CEO Mirko Ross and FTAPI CEO Ari Albertini explain how their cooperation will lead to greater resilience, security and momentum for data-driven companies.

What are your respective intentions with the partnership?
Mirko Ross, CEO of asvin: Closer cooperation between FTAPI and asvin is simply a no-brainer. Both companies address specific cybersecurity issues for customers in similar segments, such as the automotive industry. FTAPI’s data and information security solutions complement our solutions at asvin for analysing and prioritising cyber risks and presenting them in customised security reports.
Ari Albertini, CEO of FTAPI: With our partnership, FTAPI and asvin are combining their strengths to jointly advance cybersecurity and compliance in Europe. Our goal is to share knowledge, enable each other and, above all, raise awareness of the increasing demands on secure digital processes.
-
What target group are you addressing and what benefits does the partnership offer?
Ari Albertini: The partnership is aimed at companies and public authorities that want to secure their digital supply chains and reliably meet compliance requirements. The mutual benefit lies in the combination of our reach, our technologies and our clear commitment to strengthening the European cybersecurity ecosystem in the long term.
Mirko Ross: We have similar or identical customer groups, such as industrial companies, critical infrastructure and financial companies. These are under enormous pressure from cyber attacks and regulatory challenges in cyber security. Together with FTAPI, we at asvin can build integrated solutions that minimise this pressure on customers.
-
Why is this important for the market and customers right now?
Mirko Ross: Cybersecurity is a perennial issue for companies and institutions. Global uncertainties in particular are increasing the importance of solutions from Europe and Germany. Only these can guarantee the reliable and trustworthy handling of sensitive data within the German and European legal framework. Both FTAPI and asvin are solution providers from Germany. We therefore guarantee our customers sustainable, secure and sovereign solutions.
Ari Albertini: Digital sovereignty and trustworthy European providers are more important today than ever before. Companies are increasingly networked – with partners, service providers and platforms. This growing connectivity creates efficiency, but also new risks: interfaces with the outside world are now among the biggest areas of vulnerability.
That’s why partnerships like ours are needed: providers who work together and offer comprehensive solutions. This creates ecosystems that are not only technically compatible, but also strategically aligned.
-
What does each of you bring to the partnership?
Ari Albertini: Both partners bring many years of experience and in-depth expertise in their respective areas of specialisation to the table. FTAPI stands for secure, encrypted data transfer and a platform solution that makes the exchange of sensitive information between companies, authorities and partners easy and compliant. Together with asvin, we are expanding this offering with specific expertise in the areas of software supply chains and cyber risk management. This creates a holistic approach to modern security requirements.
Mirko Ross: asvin brings a strong portfolio of solutions for managing cybersecurity risks in networked environments. Our focus is on securing software supply chains, IoT infrastructures and continuous risk assessment. The partnership with FTAPI creates real added value because our solutions complement each other. Together, we offer organisations in Europe greater digital resilience and strengthen their ability to confidently master complex security challenges.
