Cyber Security in Germany 2023: A look into the digital future
The internet has established itself as an indispensable part of our lives. But what is the security situation in digital Germany? This article provides an up-to-date insight into the IT security situation in 2023 and presents valuable tips for increasing individual cyber security.
Cyber threats: An ever-growing problem
According to Bitkom, cybercrime in Germany is expected to cause losses of over 200 billion euros for the third year in a row. Ransomware attacks are particularly dangerous. Data is encrypted and ransoms are demanded. Failure to pay threatens the publication of the data. The perpetrators put pressure on financially strong companies in particular, 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 the focus of IT security
In May 2023, the 19th German IT Security Congress, organized by the BSI, was all about "Digital security for a sustainable future". Current trends were highlighted and the importance of IT security for digitalization was emphasized. The congress offered an in-depth insight into the topic through live presentations and virtual stands.
Market development: growth and potential
In 2023, the market volume of the cyber security market in Germany is estimated to be around 5.81 billion euros. Security services dominate with a volume of 3.19 billion euros. The volume could rise to 7.13 billion euros by 2028.

Use strong and unique passwords.
Update software and apps regularly.
Be careful with suspicious e-mails or messages.
Back up and encrypt data regularly.
