The security and reliability of information and communications technology used by companies and public authorities is becoming increasingly important, as is the trustworthy handling of information. Inadequately protected information is an often underestimated risk factor. A security incident, such as the manipulation or disclosure of corporate or government data, can result in high costs and is always associated with a loss of customer confidence. For this reason, more and more companies and public authorities are establishing the position of an IT security officer.
