Predictive security measures are particularly important in the areas of cybercrime and cybersecurity, Industry and Factory 4.0 and the Internet of Things. This term describes all strategies and technologies that serve to recognise and ward off threats or attacks before any damage occurs. It is no longer just about reacting to threats, but preventing them at an early stage.
A good example: modern production systems in a factory are now often connected to each other via the internet. Predictive security measures here mean that action is not only taken in the event of an attack. Instead, intelligent sensors and software constantly monitor the system for unusual activities - such as sudden data access or unexpected shutdowns. If the system recognises at an early stage that a problem is imminent, it can automatically initiate countermeasures, such as switching off certain parts or triggering an alarm.
This minimises production downtime and data loss. Companies can reliably protect their work processes and digital systems with forward-looking security measures - and significantly reduce the risk of expensive damage.
