Introduction
Complex cyber-attacks in industrial contexts are among the most serious dangers to the
proper operation of commercial processes. Every year, espionage, sabotage, and data theft wreak
billions of dollars in harm. However, for a successful digital transition, security and trust are
required. Closer coordination among corporations, politicians, and civil society is as important
for public trust in digitalization as it is for Germany's cyber resilience.
Digitalization has nearly limitless potential: by 2025, Europe may contribute up to 2.5
trillion Euros to GDP, increasing GDP growth by one percent each year for the following
decade. At the same time, every German customer is expected to own an average of 9.8
connected gadgets by 2023. Many so-called smart solutions, such as smart living, would be
enabled as a result. However, the ever-increasing digital interconnection brings with it
significant security risks that must be controlled. Only if cybersecurity can be ensured will trust
in the digital transition last in the long run. The same is true for the growing digitization of
industrial production, which is manifesting itself in the emergence of digital platforms - a
significant contribution to improved productivity and economic growth in today’s government.
Cyber-attacks: A major risk to business activities
The rising digitization and networking of all aspects of society, prompted, among other
things, by the Corona epidemic, carries risks: Criminals are exploiting the fact that many
industrial machinery, as well as simple gadgets (e.g., televisions and WiFi cameras) – which are
increasingly software-controlled and connected to the Internet – have inherent weaknesses and
do not receive frequent upgrades. Hackers take advantage of these flaws and attempt to obtain
access to the software of these devices in order to launch so-called Distributed Denial of Service
(DDoS) attacks. The implications of a successful cyber-attack may be severe for businesses,
even leading to bankruptcy if not handled properly. According to the Allianz Risk Barometer
2021, cyber events are considered third as the largest business risk by firms on a worldwide
scale.
Furthermore, industrial organizations are frequently the victims of even more complicated cyber
crimes. Data theft, industrial espionage, and sabotage are expected to cost the German economy
roughly 223 billion Euros by 2021. Almost nine out of 10 businesses were targeted by cyber-
attacks. Aside from malware infection, the most typical techniques employed by thieves were
theft of valuable corporate data and phishing attempts.
Over the course of the epidemic, the number of cyberattacks has increased, accompanied
by new threat actor methods such as "double extortion," putting enterprises at greater risk of
business disruption. The use of extra digital tools increases the likelihood of human error, which
is frequently exploited by such threat actors. As many firms transition to a more digital
environment to support both office-based and remote working, it is critical to examine and
implement cybersecurity training, policies, and controls. Moving to a cloud-based email
infrastructure, for example, without multi-factor authentication and sufficient phishing training
and controls, may expose a business to a cybersecurity compromise.
