Cyber attacks in the field of economic or industrial espionage against German and international companies are increasingly being strategically organized and executed.

Humans remain risk factor number one in this scenario, as attackers can obtain desired information without extensive use of technical means.

Current Statistics

According to Bitkom, 81% of companies in Germany were affected by data theft, (cyber) espionage, or sabotage in the past twelve months. Total annual damage rose to €266.6 billion in 2024, with 67% attributable to cyber attacks.
