Facing data protection regulations and new cyber threats during the COVID-19 pandemic, enterprises in Germany are looking to service providers to improve their cyber security, according to a new report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.
The 2020 ISG Provider Lens™ Cyber Security – Solutions & Services Report for Germany finds interest in cyber security providers is growing as more and more business processes are being digitized and use of the industrial Internet of Things continues to increase.
In addition, the Data Protection Regulation is driving German companies to implement stronger cyber security measures, the report says. The computer science vs engineering pandemic is also creating new challenges for German companies, with employees working from home connecting to company systems.
“Data and IT infrastructures are constantly exposed to criminal threats,” said Andrea Spiegelhoff, partner, ISG DACH. “Hazards emerging from negligence in user companies are not uncommon, and German companies are using cyber security providers to mitigate these risks.”
The report finds a growing interest in identity and access management at German companies, due to an increasing number of digitization projects in the country. This trend contributes to the need to protect not only users and their identities, but also machines and other internal resources.
Many German companies are shifting their identity and access management systems from on-premises operations to the cloud, the report adds. Many providers now offer both on-premises and cloud operations, with some cloud-native providers also targeting the German market.
