Cybersecurity shall be C-level priority

Enhance your understanding of digital security with Cybersecurity shall be C-level priority!

In this episode, Nico Werner welcomes cybersecurity expert Dr. Sven Herpig, Head of Cybersecurity Policy and Resilience at Interface (formerly Stiftung Neue Verantwortung). Together, they explore the heated debate around Hackback – the act of retaliating against cyberattacks with offensive cyber operations.

🎙️ Topics covered in this episode:

🔹 Hackback vs. Resilience: Why striking back doesn’t necessarily make us more secure

🔹 Legal & Ethical Concerns: What is permitted in Germany – and where do we cross the line?

🔹 Global Insights: Which nations are using hackbacks, and what can we learn from their experiences?

🔹 Strategic Alternatives: How can we mitigate cyber threats effectively without fueling escalation?

💡 Key Takeaway: The Hackback debate is emotional, legally complex, and technically challenging. Instead of focusing on retaliation, we should invest in prevention, robust cybersecurity architectures, and effective cyber defense strategies.

Stay secure – and join the discussion!

In this episode, Nico Werner speaks with Fabian Cholewa (Senior IT Manager, ALDI DX) about a critical but often underestimated aspect of cybersecurity: the human factor – also known as Layer 8.

✅ Why humans aren’t firewalls – but can still be a powerful security asset.

✅ The biggest awareness mistakes: Why traditional training often fails.

✅ Psychology & IT security: How stress impacts decision-making during cyberattacks.

✅ Ransomware & incident response: How companies can avoid the "Headless-Chicken Mode."

✅ Gamification & incentives: Creative ways to make cybersecurity awareness engaging.

✅ Building a security culture instead of blaming employees: How to create an environment where people feel safe to report incidents.

💡 Key takeaway: Awareness isn’t just a checkbox – it’s a continuous process. Companies must engage their people instead of labeling them as the weakest link.
