Why companies and municipalities need to rethink their digital resilience!
While political and economic crises are often visible, an increasingly relevant part of international tensions is shifting to a space that remains invisible to many: the internet.
Cyberattacks are now an integral part of hybrid conflict scenarios — and they not only affect governments and critical infrastructures, but increasingly also medium-sized companies and municipal institutions.

Digital frontlines: What used to be espionage is now strategic sabotage
Targeted DDoS attacks, coordinated disinformation campaigns or digitally infiltrated supply chains: The forms of attack have evolved considerably in recent years. Groups such as “NoName057(16)” or “KillNet” do not act in isolation, but increasingly as loose alliances with a clear political agenda. The aim is to disrupt public attention, create insecurity and undermine democratic structures — without firing a single physical shot.
The line between classic cybercrime activities and politically motivated attacks is becoming increasingly blurred. For municipalities, authorities and SMEs, the question is therefore no longer whetherbut when they get caught in the crosshairs.
DEFENDERBOX: Early detection instead of crisis mode
Not every attack targets data or production processes. The increasing use of AI-generated content to manipulate opinion — for example through fake websites, automated social media bots or deepfakes — is fundamentally changing the threat scenario. Especially in times of political tension, this can massively damage public trust.
Those responsible in municipalities, authorities and companies must therefore think beyond purely technical protective measures.
Digital resilience means identifying and closing security gaps, strengthening the ability to react — but also arming processes and communication against new forms of attack.
Conclusion: Security today is multidimensional — and must remain so!
Digital attack scenarios are no longer science fiction. They are part of everyday life — for states, institutions and companies.
The good news: With solutions such as the DEFENDERBOX risks can be drastically minimized, attack surfaces reduced and existing structures secured — without high entry barriers.
Don’t wait for an emergency. Protect your infrastructure today.
