Cyber security – just as central an issue in 2024 as it is now: New structures, relevant awareness and secure authentification helped to set new standards.
To be able to better meet the challenges in this area, the Nationale Zentrum für Cybersicherheit (NCSC) was converted to the Bundesamt für Cybersicherheit (BACS) early in the year.
Phishing attacks remained a widespread threat, prompting “eBanking – but secure!” to publish an updated phishing test with the aim of enabling all users to better assess related risks. Next to the widely-used multi-factor method of authentification, passkeys also became increasing popular as a secure alternative to conventional passwords.
With the addition of the LGT Bank as our new partner, our co-operation in support of secure e‑banking was extended further.
These developments demonstrate that cyber security remains an important topic for 2025, too.
