Cybercrime and IT Security Incidents – SySS on SWR

“We humans make mistakes!” That is Sebastian Schreiber's answer to the question of how the human factor plays a role in today's ever-increasing cybercrime. The SySS Managing Director appeared as a guest on SWR Aktuell for a segment aired on September 29, 2026.
