IT Security & Cyber Security

A competitive advantage rather than a target

Do you know where your biggest security gap lies?
A single vulnerability is enough to undo years of digitalisation. Cyberattacks are becoming more professional, automated and targeted. adesso makes security a business-critical discipline – so that your business becomes a pioneer rather than a target.

Do you know who is currently accessing your systems?
The more interconnected your processes and products are, the greater the vulnerability to data breaches and massive financial losses. Can you afford a system shutdown?

With holistic cybersecurity strategies, quantum-secure encryption, business continuity plans and automated compliance, adesso helps companies make their organisations resilient. We do not view IT security in isolation, but as an integral part of your digital strategy – from the initial risk analysis through to day-to-day operations and automated monitoring.

Our goal: to position your organisation so that it can withstand attacks, recover quickly from disruptions and, at the same time, reliably meet regulatory requirements. In this way, cybersecurity becomes an enabler of sustainable digital sovereignty – rather than a brake on your innovations.

Our security priorities for your IT & OT

GRC, NIS2, Cloud & AI Compliance

  • Hackers don’t cut corners. Why should you?

    adesso protects your critical infrastructure at every level – from cloud hardening to a managed SOC. We combine state-of-the-art defences against phishing and other threats to stop attacks before they cause any damage.

    With our security portfolio, we offer you security and resilience concepts of the highest standard – ensuring your operations continue even in the event of an attack:

    • Threat & Vulnerability Management, Penetration Testing and Security Audits
    • Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Security Information & Event Management (SIEM)
    • Zero-trust architectures and hardening of cloud and hybrid environments
    • Offensive and defensive security measures across the entire IT landscape
    • OT Security/Cyber Resilience Act

    Contact us

  • NIS2 & DORA: Just a chore or your strategic shield?

    Regulatory requirements such as NIS2, DORA, KRITIS guidelines, data protection laws or ISO standards are putting massive pressure on organisations. We translate complex requirements such as KRITIS or data protection laws into pragmatic, audit-proof structures. Navigate every audit with confidence.

    We offer you IT security right from the start:

    • Analysis and translation of regulatory requirements into concrete measures
    • Establishment and further development of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
    • Support with certifications (ISO/IEC 27001) and BSI-oriented approaches
    • Automated compliance checks, reporting and continuous improvement processes

  • AI systems are your driving force. Who is in charge of security?

    Artificial intelligence detects threats in real time, but without clear guidelines, it becomes a risk in itself. adesso combines technological innovation with strict governance to strengthen your security strategy and minimise your attack surface in the long term. We establish a security culture in which AI is used responsibly and confidently.

    We are experts in the following areas:

    • Security Awareness & Human Factor
    • Confident and secure use of AI

  • Who really has access to your crown jewels?

    Digital identities are the new perimeter. Outdated identity management (IAM) is an open invitation to insider risks and attackers. We create transparency and absolute control over every instance of access – through end-to-end identity and access management. Our security controls proactively detect threats, thereby protecting your entire IT infrastructure.

    These are our areas of expertise:

    • Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Identity Governance & Administration (IGA)
    • Role and authorisation models with lifecycle management for identities
    • Single Sign-on (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and strong authentication
    • Automated recertifications, access reviews and auditability

  • Staying operational when the world comes to a standstill

    Disruptions can never be ruled out entirely. But your company’s survival can be planned for. With professional BCM, we ensure that critical processes continue to run even in the event of a crisis.

    Our areas of focus in BCM:

    • Business impact analyses and identification of critical business processes
    • Development and implementation of business continuity and disaster recovery strategies
    • Emergency and crisis management, including clear roles, processes and communication channels
    • Regular tests, drills and continuous optimisation of BCM measures

  • The threats of tomorrow are taking shape today

    Quantum computers will inevitably break today’s encryption standards. Anyone who ignores this development risks the long-term integrity of their most sensitive data. adesso is already firmly focused on this critical future issue to ensure your IT architecture is ‘crypto-agile’ in good time.

    These topics are on our agenda:

    • Risk evaluation: analytical approaches for the future assessment of existing cryptographic methods.
    • Migration concepts: Preparation of strategic roadmaps towards quantum-secure algorithms.
    • Focus on crypto-agility: Research into flexible and future-proof cryptographic structures.
    • Integration scenarios: Concept studies for the upcoming integration of quantum-secure encryption into complex IT and compliance environments.

adesso: Your partner for uncompromising IT security

  • Technology-agnostic resilience

    We think in terms of zero-trust architectures and risk minimisation, not vendor silos. Through our extensive partner network, we integrate precisely the security solutions that close your specific attack surface – whether on-premises, hybrid or in the multi-cloud.

  • In-depth industry and regulatory expertise

    From DORA in the highly regulated financial sector, through NIS2 and KRITIS in public services, to the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in industrial manufacturing: our teams understand the specific threat scenarios, legal obligations and operational hurdles facing your industry. We don’t just make you secure; we make you audit-ready.

  • Strategy, implementation and operations from a single source

    Security must not end with mere consultancy. Together with you, we establish a robust governance and risk strategy (GRC) – and implement this through our security engineering teams into secure software (DevSecOps), hardened infrastructures and continuous monitoring (SOC).

  • Recognised security & AI expertise

    We not only master traditional cyber defence, but also secure your future technologies: from the regulatory-compliant use of generative AI (EU AI Act) and the protection of industrial systems (OT security) to preparation for the post-quantum era. We protect the foundation on which your innovations grow.
