Holistic IT Security

Which attacker groups and methods could actually threaten your company?

We support you in clarifying these questions. Together, we analyse which groups are active, which techniques they use and which attack paths are most likely for your company.

With a threat analysis, you can find out what is relevant for your company based on real attack patterns and industry-specific threat scenarios. We consider your individual situation, the industry and your role in supply chains. The results help you to target security measures and provide clarity about real risks.

This threat analysis is not only a valuable first step towards threat-oriented defence, but also a practical tool for integrating attack patterns into your risk management. It forms the basis for a targeted security strategy and at the same time supports the fulfilment of regulatory requirements, such as preparation for threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) under DORA.

How secure is your company against hacker attacks?

In a rapid risk assessment, we carry out a comprehensive IT security assessment in which your entire IT landscape is examined and put to the test, both technically and procedurally.

More and more companies are facing the threat of cyber attacks. A security breach can have serious consequences: data loss, business disruption, financial loss, and damage to your company's reputation. This is why a comprehensive IT security assessment is essential in order to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in your business, thereby improving your security management. Our IT security assessment looks at all aspects of your IT security, including your infrastructure, software, applications, and processes.

More specifically, our security assessment uses interviews to check procedural issues such as backups, business continuity plans, monitoring, and patch management. Together with the relevant departments, we review relevant processes and take a random look at the configurations. Where it makes sense, we also conduct technical spot checks on the risk minimization measures implemented.

How can you invest in effective IT security in a targeted manner?

With Threat-Informed Defense, we bring structure and clarity to your security strategy. Instead of relying on blanket measures, we work with you to analyse which real threats are relevant to your business. From this, we develop concrete and prioritised security measures tailored to your needs.

Threat-Informed Defense can be easily integrated into existing GRC processes. It supplements classic risk assessments with specific attack scenarios and technical metrics, creating real added value for audit, compliance and business continuity.

We not only give you recommendations, but also check whether these measures are actually effective. To do this, we simulate real attack methods tailored to your infrastructure. This gives you a sound assessment of the effectiveness of your defense and allows you to make targeted adjustments. This enables you to make informed and transparent decisions at a technical and strategic level, including measurable KPIs.

Is your AI application secure against attacks?

Artificial intelligence offers enormous opportunities, but it also brings with it new security risks that conventional IT security measures often do not cover. That is why we systematically analyse the security of your AI systems and develop tailor-made protection concepts that are specifically tailored to the threat landscape of AI applications.

AI systems are exposed to unique attack patterns – from prompt injection and model poisoning to jailbreaks. Our AI security assessment begins with a comprehensive threat analysis and risk assessment as a solid foundation. In doing so, we identify specific vulnerabilities in your large language models, training data and AI infrastructures. From this analysis, we derive concrete, practical security measures that meet your individual protection needs.

The assessment is rounded off with a targeted system penetration test, in which we also check your LLM for exploitable vulnerabilities and simulate real attack scenarios. This gives you a clear overview of the current security status of your AI applications and a concrete roadmap for effective protective measures. Let's work together to ensure that your AI systems are secure and robust.

Secure software development is an important aspect that you should consider right from the start. But what does that look like? Our experts at codecentric are there to support you in all phases of the development process.

SSDLC is a software development method that focuses on security from the outset. It minimises risks and costs while continuously improving the quality of the software.

With our SSDLC assessment SAMMcentric, you can analyse the maturity level of your secure software development in a targeted manner – measurably, practically and independently of technology. This ensures that your software development is robust and secure right from the start.

With the SSLDC assessment, you can immediately identify initial potential for improvement, increase the resilience of your applications and reduce your development costs in the long term. No matter how far along you are with your SSDLC, SAMMcentric can be used flexibly – as a complete entry point or a modular addition. We accompany you through the entire software life cycle without changing your existing processes or technologies.

SAMMcentric is based on the OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Model© (SAMM), an internationally recognised maturity model. We use OWASP SAMM for our SSDLC assessments to derive necessary measures and recommendations for action on an individual basis and to make their effectiveness measurable.

Is your data secure in the cloud?

Today, cloud providers offer a variety of security measures to protect your data. However, many of these measures can involve additional costs and effort. That's why we check whether your cloud environment meets current security standards and only recommend measures that really suit your protection needs.

The cloud provider is responsible for the security of the cloud, while you, as the customer, must ensure that your resources within the cloud are secure. We offer the Cloud Security Assessment for a thorough review and analysis of your cloud environment. We check the security settings of your users, services and data storage in the cloud. This includes the protection of access and identity data, network security, data security and verification of compliance with compliance guidelines.

In addition, we assess risks and threats posed by cyber attacks and data loss. The assessment provides you with a detailed overview of the current security status of your cloud, on the basis of which we recommend effective security improvement measures.

How can you raise awareness of IT security within your team?

With workshops covering various IT security topics. The experts at codecentric AG offer workshops that are tailored to your individual needs and provide an appealing mix of theory and practice.

IT security is a high priority in today's world – especially when you consider how sophisticated cybercriminals' attack techniques have become. To provide your company with the best possible protection, it is crucial to identify potential weaknesses in your knowledge base.

At codecentric, we have developed special workshops tailored to you and your situation. In exciting presentations and live hacking labs, our experts will introduce you to the most important topics in IT security. Our goal is to provide you with a solid foundation of knowledge or to deepen your existing knowledge.
