September 20, 2022 – Eye Security has been qualified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and added to the list of qualified Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Response Service Providers. This list helps German companies, critical infrastructure managers and government agencies find qualified cybersecurity solution providers. “An important step in our internationalisation.”
The BSI acts as a qualification body for various aspects of business in Germany, including cybersecurity. The primary function of a BSI qualification is to ensure the security of an IT-product by providing transparency about the capabilities, reliability and usability of a solution. The ultimate goal that the BSI wants to achieve in Germany is to create trust in technology.
Eye Security successfully passed the BSI’s bipartisan evaluation, on the one hand testing the company’s processes and investigative services for professionalism and completeness. Then Eye’s experts were extensively tested and evaluated in a fictitious scenario. “This qualification represents an important step for us in expanding our international strategy,” says Christian Milde, CEO Central Europe at Eye Security. “Being included in the BSI’s list of qualified APT response service providers is a great confirmation of our growing business in Germany, as well as the expertise of our team in both the region and Europe. It also confirms that our approach to protecting German customers meets the highest possible quality standards.”
Attacks on companies are increasing, both in number and in intensity. The damage caused by cybercrime not only causes economic damage, but can also damage reputation, for example. The BSI believes that the support of specialised external service providers with a high level of knowledge is necessary in order to cope with cyber threats. By qualifying these service providers, the German Federal Office wants to help companies find and select suitable partners in order to save them time-consuming research. “The recognition of Eye by BSI highlights our ability to provide German organisations with the incident response services and expertise needed to properly mitigate cyber-attacks.”

A lot can change in 12-months. Your business may have added new systems, suppliers, or employees. The amount of data you hold may have increased. Your security controls may have changed. And your current insurance policy may no longer offer the protection you think it does.
Cyber budgets have climbed every year for a decade. Attacks keep succeeding anyway. This gap tells us that the size of the budget was rarely the issue. September is when European leadership teams set the budget allocation for 2027. Every department competes for the same investment, and cybersecurity has to earn its place alongside the […]
