IT-based security

IT security is an important economic factor as well as an enabler and driver of digitization in an increasingly networked economy.

IT security in the capital

The IT security industry has developed rapidly in Berlin as the capital and seat of embassies, federal authorities, and various governmental bodies, all with high security requirements. With outstanding companies and their services, networks and numerous research institutions, Berlin is not only home to a dynamic developer and supplier base, but also represents the contact point for globally active customers.

The Berlin state initiative Projekt Zukunft acts as a link to politics and administration and networks the media and IT industries with each other and with science. IT security is anchored as a cross-sectional issue in the joint innovation strategy of the states of Berlin and Brandenburg.


It's.BB: the IT Security Network Berlin Brandenburg

The IT Security Network Berlin Brandenburg (Netzwerk IT-Sicherheit Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. ), founded in 2019 and funded by the Senate Department for Economics, Energy, and Enterprises, supports the economic and innovative power of the IT security industry. The company network links players in the industry with one another and also supports the collaboration between business and science. One issue it addresses is the recruitment of skilled workers for the industry. This is reinforced by targeted cooperation with the region's universities. As a central competence network, it acts as a trustworthy contact for the industry:
