Cyber security, privacy and risk assessment of new technologies - this is my focus for the continuous further development of organisations, processes and people. After all, only those who know their cyber risks inside out can utilise the opportunities of digital transformation.

With comprehensive analyses and precise measures, I provide targeted advice on protection against industrial espionage, ransomware and DDoS attacks - without losing sight of the costs and benefits.
