The Cyber Security Alliance is an initiative founded in 2012 by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Their goal is to strengthen Germany’s resilience against cyber attacks, by helping every business to better protect itself against cyber attacks. Any company based in Germany can become a member of the Cyber Security Alliance free of charge. This gives them access to information and free cyber security services and to exchanges with other companies.
What is the Cyber Security Alliance in detail?
The Cyber Security Alliance organizes branches of all industries. Companies with cyber security expertise can also register as partners. As such, they provide all participants in the Cyber Security Alliance with a free partner offer at least once a year.
