Cyber Security in Germany 2023: A Look into the Digital Future

The internet has established itself as an essential part of our lives. But how is the security in digital Germany? This article offers a current insight into the IT security situation in 2023 and presents valuable tips to enhance individual cyber security.


Cyber Threats: A Constantly Growing Problem

According to Bitkom, cybercrime in Germany is expected to cause damage of over 200 billion euros for the third consecutive year. Ransomware attacks are particularly dangerous. Data is encrypted, and ransoms are demanded. If payment is not made, data publication is threatened. The perpetrators particularly pressure financially strong companies, a strategy known as "Big Game Hunting."


"Cyber threats are constantly increasing, and it is essential that both companies and individuals are aware of this danger and take appropriate protective measures." - David Eckel, Cyber Security Expert


Events & Developments: In Focus of IT Security

The 19th German IT Security Congress, organized by BSI, focused on "Digital Security for a Sustainable Future" in May 2023. Current trends were highlighted, and the importance of IT security for digitization was emphasized. The congress offered a deep insight into the topic through live presentations and virtual booths.


Market Development: Growth and Potential

In 2023, the market volume of the cyber security market in Germany is estimated at around 5.81 billion euros. Security services dominate with a volume of 3.19 billion euros. By 2028, the volume could rise to 7.13 billion euros.


How Can You Protect Yourself?

In addition to governmental measures, it is also important for each individual to enhance their own cyber security. Here are some tips:

  • Use strong and unique passwords.

  • Regularly update software and apps.

  • Be cautious with suspicious emails or messages.
