Dr.Michael Falk

Partner, Consulting, Cyber Security at KPMG

I am a partner in the Security Consulting division of KPMG. I advise you and your company not only with my many years of experience, but above all with innovative approaches.

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.

After completing my doctorate at Justus Liebig University Giessen on the topic of IT compliance in corporate governance, I am now responsible for the topics of "Cyber Security Strategy, Governance and Risk" and "Privacy Management" at KPMG and am active as a guest lecturer and speaker.

SOAPs are increasingly becoming the operational layer connecting applications, infrastructure, data pipelines, cloud services, and now AI agents. Here are our key takeaways from the 2026 research.

Digital Sovereignty Is Now an Award Criterion - What This Means for Public Contracting Authorities

For years, public procurement authorities faced the same dilemma when purchasing IT: technological independence, data sovereignty, and the ability to exit were clearly relevant from a technical perspective, but difficult to address under procurement law. Authorities that made them procurement criteria risked challenges based on discrimination or insufficient connection to the contract's subject matter. As a result, the system favored the lowest price. With the Procurement Acceleration Act, which took effect on July 1, 2026, lawmakers have resolved this dilemma.

5 Best Enterprise Job Scheduling Software Solutions in 2026

That gap is what's driving so much of this year’s purchasing: enterprises are actively replacing legacy platforms rather than adopting job scheduling for the first time. This guide compares the five enterprise job scheduling platforms IT leaders evaluate most often in 2026, including their key features, pricing, strengths, honest limitations, and who each one is really built for.
