This group of german companies founded their own security group [German Cyber Security Organization (DCSO)]. That speaks a lot about their trust in their public services.
The only time I've been involved in a hacking attempt (it was ransomware) the company I work for contacted the CCN-CERT. I wonder if US companies contact NSA/Other gov agencies or deal with it themselves with security companies.
Also, while I understand the care and concern they put into securing their networks, many german companies basically gift their tech to china, like Deutsche Bahn, or being bought and transfered there, like it happend with Kuka. So be it by hacking into your network or "partnering", they'll copy your tech and kick you out of their market sooner or later.
- ChuckNorris89 7y agoProbably because when it comes to anything cyber-related, the German government, like most big companies there, is a dinosaur, greatly inferior to it's British and Swiss counterparts.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoGermany at least has the CCC, which it sometimes asks for advice and, occasionally, listens to.
- tsss 7y agoWhen they aren't trying to put them in jail that is.
- hobofan 7y agoI'm not sure what the social aspects in Britain and Switzerland are like, but in Germany, working for the BND or other governmental cyber security institutions is frowned upon in the cyber-security circles (at least that's my view from someone not too deep in the field).
- turbinerneiter 7y agoYeah, because the BND is the enemy. They are the ones who keep the vulnerabilities open instead of closing them. We have the CCC to trust in.
