Dr. Timo Wandhöfer works as Group CISO at Klöckner & Co and is responsible for the group-wide information security. The wealth of experience as CISO goes back 8 years. During this time, he has gained extensive insight into the sectors of the public sector, the state, banking, and industry. In this process, different framework conditions have emerged as drivers for information security. Even if the goal of protection targets for confidentiality, integrity and availability are overriding, the structure is often also very stringent based on regulation or IT driven. The greatest insight of the time as CISO is the holistic view from business, requirements, and tool support for a lean and goal-oriented governance.
