How Tom is building a better working world

“Cyber risks are constantly increasing in a digitalized world and they are one of the top business risks for any company nowadays. Supporting our clients in being better prepared for cyber-attacks and cyber incidents, either in consulting them on these topics or with the performance of organizational and technical cybersecurity assessments contributes significantly to build a better working world and to keep our clients in business even when they are under attack.

Furthermore, it is crucial to have enough well educated and trained employees in the areas of information security and cybersecurity. Being a member of the technical board and a lecturer at the Master of Advanced Studies Cyber Security at the University of Applied Science Lucerne is directly contributing to these educational aspects.”
