Through positions at home and abroad, as well as activities in business, politics and administration, I came to the realization that communication and coordination do not solve all but many problems. Since 2018, initially in North Rhine-Westphalia and now in Baden-Württemberg, helping to shape and support state cybersecurity structures. I see strengthening cybersecurity as one of the great challenges of the present. In our digital times, the security of data and applications is no longer just the area of tension between what is pleasant to use and what is secure, but is largely the basis of our actions in business and administration.
