Rushing to 100% "digitize" the economy and society (e.g. #cashfree, no physical stores, #cloudification etc.) is problematic and risky in the best of scenarios.
When you don't even control control the technologies involved, it goes beyond monumental incompetence and gets into suspicious territory.
The #digitaltransition is an unstoppable force. Like the harnessing of fire, it will empower those who can handle it and turn to ashes those who cannot.
Prozessmanagement in der Cybersicherheit spielt eine immer größere Rolle – nicht umsonst wird mit Regularien wie NIS2 Cybersicherheit von einer Aufgabe bislang vorrangig für kritische Infrastrukturen zu einer Anforderung des digitalen Wirtschaftsschutzes erhoben, die künftig für viele mittelständische Betriebe gleichermaßen umzusetzen ist.
So... #Introduction ...
I am a system administrator turned network & security researcher, looking at digital infrastructures & society (See: https://ripe85.ripe.net/archives/video/877/), and operators (https://pure.mpg.de/rest/items/item_3384326_4/component/file_3432545/content). Inspecting #cloudification (https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09462) at scale.
I am also operating a small hoster-ish AS (AS59645) for the good of the Internet (and to make it more distributed), making it ping. Happy to help non-profits with infrastructure.
