Mirko Ross in an interview with SWR Aktuell: How secure is Germany’s critical infrastructure?
From hacker to cybersecurity expert: An exciting portrait on SWR introduces Mirko Ross, CEO of the Stuttgart-based cybersecurity company asvin.
Ross warns against dangerous carelessness when dealing with networked devices and against geopolitical dependencies – especially with Chinese hardware in telecommunications or solar infrastructures. Increasing digitalization is expanding the attack surface—from digital extortion to possible acts of sabotage against critical infrastructure.
His message: “There is no such thing as 100% security—but we must actively reduce the vulnerability of our systems before others exploit them.”
