When it comes to cybersecurity, the economy is relying too heavily on defensive measures and neglecting self-assessments using autonomous penetration testing solutions to assess its cyber resilience.

This is the criticism of Rainer M. Richter, Head of Europe and Asia at the cybersecurity company Horizon3.ai. He points out that the European Central Bank (ECB) has been conducting stress tests to measure cyber resilience in the financial sector for years. "Companies in all sectors would be well advised to voluntarily undergo regular stress tests," Rainer M. Richter advises.
