How crisis-proof is our critical infrastructure?

On January 29, 2026, asvin CEO Mirko Ross appeared on SWR Zur Sache, Baden-Württemberg, to discuss a topic that could hardly be more topical with three other experts: How well is our country prepared for crises and attacks on critical infrastructure?

Baden-Württemberg is considered a state that takes precautions—and with good reason. Those who plan ahead stay safe longer.

That was precisely the focus of the program: prevention and the question of how companies, authorities, and citizens can take the right precautions in good time to prevent failures—such as the recent “Berlin blackout.”
