Mirko Ross, managing director of asvin, warns companies not to neglect cyber security in the ARD programme “Update Wirtschaft” on 03.02.2025.
“No company would cut corners on fire protection. When it comes to cyber protection, we are still a long way off.”
This is despite the fact that the Allianz Risk Barometer shows that cyber attacks will remain the top risk in 2025 – both globally and in Germany.
In addition to the geopolitical situation, in which states are increasingly becoming safe havens for cybercriminals, he also points out the dangers of too lax a handling of AI.
Both the new Chinese LLM star Deepseek and US AIs such as OpenAI are at risk of inadvertently disclosing company secrets on third-party servers in prompting queries.
