DCSO: Deutsche Cyber-Sicherheitsorganisation GmbH
The German Cyber Security Organisation was founded in 2015 to strengthen IT security in Germany. The four founding companies, Allianz SE, BASF SE, Bayer AG and Volkswagen AG, want to use it to protect Europe as an economic area and social model from digital attacks and to defy organised cybercrime and state-sponsored industrial espionage. In doing so, it also works closely with the German Federal Ministry of the Interior and the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
DCSO provides a wide range of security services to the four founding companies as well as to other customers. The broad spectrum of services includes, among other things, cyber security monitoring, security analyses and audits, cyber security consulting, threat intelligence and managed security services. The DCSO teams, which previously worked with different software, are just as diverse as the range of services. The aim of the project was therefore to standardise and create a central and shared technological basis to relieve the burden on the company's own IT, to implement change requests more quickly and to achieve a higher level of basic website performance.
Central ContentHub for all services
This goal has been achieved: the InterRed ContentHub now serves as a common platform for the services offered. DCSO employees create and manage the necessary content in InterRed, and DCSO customers have access to the website published with InterRed, where they can filter and search for data according to a wide range of criteria. The integrated workflow management is also used here to facilitate the release and coordination processes. The website enables a differentiated and controllable access management from the CMS, which user is allowed to see exactly what in the frontend. It is also possible to output data in fully automated PDF files.
The InterRed ContentCollector, also in use, offers the creation of content by customers and the automatic integration of this content back into the system. Through this common technological basis, the InterRed ContentHub enables employees, members and customers to create and manage the information they need and to receive the most important information on cyber security at any time.
Uwe Geier, Chief Operating Officer at DCSO and the main person responsible for the joint project, sees clear advantages in the unified technological basis with InterRed: ‘With the establishment of a central and shared technological CRM platform based on InterRed, we are able to significantly reduce our development efforts for CRM aspects. The challenges of integrating previously disparate solutions are now a thing of the past. Implementation cycles for feature development are significantly reduced and the focus on DCSO core competencies (analysis and assessment of cybercrime) enables us to generate competitive advantages.’
