q.beyond AG announced that it will with immediate effect support the Berlin housing company degewo AG by providing extensive cybersecurity advice and associated services. The two companies have signed a corresponding agreement with an initial term of four years. This way, degewo is additionally securing its new IT strategy. q.beyond will screen all the company's existing IT. Not only that, it will continually review further developments within the Berlin company's new IT strategy from a security perspective, recommend suitable actions and support the company in implementing these. By agreeing this cooperation with q.beyond, degewo is stepping up the extensive protective measures already in place. q.beyond will analyse the topic in great detail and across all sections of the company, also with regard to its diverse IT landscape. In a first step, q.beyond has already started screening the whole of degewo's IT infrastructure and processes, as well as its security guidelines. Above all, this involves scanning and managing potential weak points. The security check also involves conducting so-called penetration tests. q.beyond will then assess the results, define measures to optimise the situation and implement these together with degewo as part of a continuous improvement process. As well as reviewing the systems and processes already in place, q.beyond will provide ongoing support to degewo in safeguarding its new IT strategy from a security perspective.
