Schwarz Group fights against 350,000 cyber attacks a day!

The black group is currently faced with an alarming number of around 350,000 daily cyber attacks, with most of the attacks from Russia. Before the Ukraine War, there were only about 3,500 attacks a day. The managing director Gerd Chrzanowski emphasizes the need for cooperation in cyber security, since attacks against a company ultimately affect everyone. In order to counter this threat, the black group plans to develop a AI-based solution in cooperation with a US company that is also to be made accessible to other retailers, as Chrzanowski told the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

In addition, the black group has invested in its own IT infrastructure in order to better secure its systems. You also work with SAP to ward off cyber attacks more effectively, whereby the security solution XM cyber is used by black. The group, which invests around eight billion euros annually in strategic projects, also builds a new IT campus in Bad Friedrichshall, whose completion is planned for 2026. An Israeli cybersecurity company was recently taken over to bundle know-how and also offer this knowledge to other companies, such as SAP. More details on the current developments can be found here .
