Your journey into the world of cybersecurity starts here – I’m looking forward to connecting with you!

Host Nico Freitag welcomes David Fuhr, Co-founder & CTO at intcube GmbH, for a bold and wide-ranging conversation on cybersecurity, scale, and sovereignty in Europe.

The discussion kicks off with the U.S. Treasury’s announcement to defund the CVE database – a seemingly niche move with wide-reaching impact. For David, this underscores the deep dependency European IT has on U.S. infrastructure and highlights why a scalable, autonomous security strategy is more critical than ever.

Topics explored include:

• Why security remains unmanageable for many mid-sized companies
• The illusion of control through certifications and paperwork
• How consultants and vendors sometimes solve the wrong problems
• The importance of building resilient, maintainable IT, not just adopting hype tools
• Why EU regulation like NIS 2 and CRA can help – but only if applied wisely
• The need for collaborative ecosystems instead of unicorn obsessions

David also unpacks why he doesn’t believe Europe needs “its own CrowdStrike” – and instead argues for a network of trusted, mid-sized, interoperable providers that reflect European values and resilience.

If you care about scaling cybersecurity, reducing dependencies, and enabling meaningful digital transformation, this episode is essential.

Cybersecurity is not just about technology – it’s about communication!

In this episode of Cybersecurity ist Chefsache, Nico Werner speaks with Annika Waegenbauer, Founder of CYBERSECURITY REDEFINED, about the biggest challenges in communicating cybersecurity at the C-level.

🔥 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why many CISOs struggle to communicate with executives
• Why storytelling is more effective than technical deep dives
• How cybersecurity can be positioned as a business case
• Why compliance & regulations create more confusion than clarity
• The importance of a strong error culture in security

A key discussion point: Risk perception in Germany. Businesses need to take risks to succeed, but cybersecurity is often seen purely as a cost factor.

📢 Listen now and learn how to successfully position cybersecurity at the C-level!

In this special episode of Cybersecurity ist Chefsache, we explore the book “IT für Anfänger” (IT for Beginners) – a collaborative project featuring over 9 authors who explain complex IT topics in a simple, relatable, and often humorous way.

We’re joined by several of the contributors:

👉 Adrian Pusch explains physical IT security through an engaging story about a young boy who accidentally gains access to a bank.

👉 Matthias Kittner breaks down IT architecture in a conversation with a roofer – showing why a strong foundation is essential in both construction and IT.

👉 Freya Wester-Ebbinghaus shares her chapter on Women in Tech, encouraging visibility without justification – and creating real impact.

👉 Christian Lang challenges stereotypes about IT support and reveals why “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” is more than just a joke.

👉 Nicolai Paul Hoffmann explains programming languages and cloud technologies – in a way that even inspires kids to start coding.

👉 David Kaselow, the initiator of the project, shares how a simple LinkedIn idea turned into a meaningful book filled with heart, depth, and creative spirit.

🎯 This episode is for anyone who wants to understand IT – whether you're a parent, educator, leader, or simply curious.

📘 The book “IT für Anfänger” will be released on March 12 as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover via Amazon.

🔍 OSINT: A Threat or an Opportunity? How Companies Can Leverage Open Source Intelligence

In this episode welcomes Nico Werner IT security expert Estelle Franz. Together, they dive deep into Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and discuss how companies can use it not only for defense but also proactively for cybersecurity, compliance, and business intelligence.

What is OSINT?

OSINT stands for Open Source Intelligence – the collection and analysis of publicly available information online. What was once used mainly by intelligence agencies and law enforcement is now a powerful tool for businesses.

Episode Highlights:

🔹 OSINT as a Strategic Tool: Why companies should actively use OSINT instead of fearing it

🔹 Cybersecurity & Compliance: How organizations can identify risks early through OSINT analysis

🔹 Social Engineering & Phishing: How hackers exploit OSINT – and how businesses can prepare

🔹 Privacy vs. Transparency: How much information should you really share?

🔹 Automation & Artificial Intelligence: The future of OSINT and AI’s crucial role

🔎 Key takeaway: OSINT is already part of our digital world – the question is not whether we can avoid it, but how to use it effectively!

🔹 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.

Key topics in this episode:

✅ 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.
