Dr. Baumgart went on to explain that “Stuxnet clearly shows that today’s determined attackers spare no effort or costs in order to achieve their goals. We must realize that only state-of-the-art security solutions can withstand such attacks.” According to Dr. Baumgart, products and solutions that protect vulnerable infrastructures – such as high-security areas of the German Armed Forces and authorities, for example – have existed for years.
secunet is an IT security partner of the German federal government and has been developing sophisticated IT security and high-security solutions for over ten years.
