In conversation with Manu Carus, Authorized OffSec Instructor and CEO of ManufakturIT GmbH

Cyberattacks are becoming more professional, legal requirements more demanding, and the responsibility of corporate management is growing rapidly. Yet many companies still treat cybersecurity as a purely IT task. Why this is a dangerous misconception and why further training is now one of the most important building blocks for corporate resilience is what we will discuss in our upcoming interview with Manu Carus, Managing Director of Manufaktur IT GmbH.

As one of the most experienced cybersecurity trainers and consultants in the German-speaking world, Manu Carus has been supporting companies, authorities, and operators of critical infrastructures for many years in sustainably strengthening their information security. In the interview, he explains what impact new regulations such as NIS2, DORA, or TISAX have on managing directors and decision-makers, why classic security awareness training is no longer sufficient, and why companies should increasingly rely on so-called security champions – especially in times of skilled labor shortages.

Look forward to exciting insights from practice, surprising food for thought, and concrete recommendations on how companies can future-proof their cybersecurity strategy. One thing is clear: sustainable information security is not achieved by modern technologies alone, but above all by people who understand security, take responsibility, and continuously develop their knowledge.

An interview that managers, IT managers, and all decision-makers who want to lead their company safely into the digital future should not miss.

Silicon Valley Europe: Mr. Carus, you say: “Cybersecurity is not an IT problem, but a management task.” Why do you believe this topic is still so often seen as solely the responsibility of the IT department?
