Cybersecurity strategies for scale-ups: how to achieve sustainable protection

Level up your understanding of Europe’s digital challenges in this episode of “Cybersecurity shall be C-level priority!”. 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.

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 companiesThe illusion of control through certifications and paperworkHow consultants and vendors sometimes solve the wrong problemsThe importance of building resilient, maintainable IT, not just adopting hype toolsWhy EU regulation like NIS 2 and CRA can help – but only if applied wiselyThe need for collaborative ecosystems instead of unicorn obsessionsDavid 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. ____________________________________________ 👤 More Information David Fuhr - LinkedIn-Profile ____________________________________________ 🚨 This Podcast is translated from the original content Cybersecurity ist Chefsache using AI technology to make them accessible to a broader audience. 🚨 ____________________________________________ 🎧 Take a look! 🎙Podcast - Cybersecurity ist Chefsache: @cybersec_ist_chefsache 🎙Podcast - Cybersecurity shall be C-Level priority: @cybersec_clevel_priority 🎙Podcast - Die Zwei Auftrag: Cybersicherheit: @diezweicyber Join us as we dive deeper into the world of digital security. ____________________________________________ You can find me on these social media channels: 📸 Instagram: cybersec_clevel_priority 🕺 TikTok: cybersec_clevel_priority 🤝 LinkedIn: nicowerner 📌 Getting in touch - Podcast: Cybersecurity shall be C-level priority ____________________________________________ Your journey into the world of cybersecurity starts here – I’m looking forward to connecting with you!
