The result is a future-proof digital infrastructure. VfB's approach is comparable to injury prevention in top-class sport: risks are identified at an early stage in order to remain competitive and innovative in the long term.
Cyber Security at Bizerba
Andreas W. Kraut, CEO of the global technology provider Bizerba, makes security a top priority after a cyber attack. The decision was made to use the proactive security platform from XM Cyber and the partnership with Schwarz Digits. In addition to the continuous weak point analysis, the decisive factors were trust and expertise. “The cooperation is based on partnership and solutions. For us, Schwarz Digits is not just a service provider, but a real sparring partner on an equal level,” says Kraut. The result: a new level of cyber resilience and the certainty of being equipped for future challenges with the right partner.
Cyber Security at STIHL
For Dr. Nikolas Stihl, Chairman of the Advisory Board and Supervisory Board of ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG, cyber security is not just a matter for the management. At STIHL, as a leading manufacturer of equipment for agriculture, forestry, landscaping and construction, cyber security is present throughout the company and is part of the everyday life of all employees. “We are already a digital company today and we will be even more digital in the future,” emphasizes the mechanical engineer. To protect this future, STIHL relies on XM Cyber. The traditional Waibling company was impressed by the new and innovative approach: “In cooperation with Schwarz Digits and XM Cyber, we are countering the growing capabilities of cyber criminals with the growing capabilities of XM Cyber. With success. ”
Digital sovereignty as social responsibility
“Digital sovereignty is not a trend for us, but an obligation to the fans. As FC Bayern München, we cannot and will not make any compromises on this topic, which is so relevant to us, so we are consistently relying on a counterpart that stands for Champions League level, ”explains Michael Fichtner, CIO of FC Bayern München Decision to use STACKIT Cloud and XM Cyber from Schwarz Digits.
What Fichtner is particularly worried about is the safety of the 75,000 stadium visitors in the Allianz Arena. The traditional Munich club relies on the sovereign cloud from STACKIT on the one hand and uses the cybersecurity solution from XM Cyber on the other. The two solutions are more than just a service for FC Bayern München. “Both STACKIT and XM Cyber as part of Schwarz Digits treat us as equals and help us to close skill and knowledge gaps. You are our 12th man when it comes to sovereignty and security. ”
Cybersecurity in everyday hospital life
Strict regulations and documentation requirements apply in the healthcare sector. At the same time, minutes decide about a patient’s health. Thomas Lemke, CEO of the Sana Hospital Group, is convinced: “In this area of conflict, digitalization brings significant improvements for employees and patients.” Sana Kliniken AG has recognized the potential and necessity of digitization and is leading the way in the transformation process of a key industry. The focus is on the protection of patients and employees with regard to cybersecurity. The system landscape in German hospitals is heterogeneous, interfaces are missing and open interfaces for necessary remote maintenance offer a high risk potential. This is why the Sana Hospital Group relies on XM Cyber.
The multicloud strategy of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit
The procedure for digital sovereignty describes Andrea Nahles, Chairman of the Board and IT Director of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency), as follows: “As part of our multicloud broker tender, which we carried out together with our partners DRV and DGUV, we were awarded the most economical bid of a cloud broker. Three hyperscalers and two to four other European sovereign cloud providers were required. We see the high level of professionalism and profound understanding of all of the cloud providers with whom we have been working together with the Multicloud Broker in order to digitize the agency's administrative procedures. ”

Cyber Security for multi-system landscapes
For cloud and IT solutions, Kärcher takes a multi-cloud approach to ensure sovereignty over systems, data and independence. The internationally renowned manufacturer of cleaning equipment and systems is thus setting the course for its own digital future. When protecting against cyber attacks, it is important for Hartmut Jenner, CEO of Kärcher, to act proactively. While the family-run company based in Winnenden used to be reactive in the past, it now relies on solutions from XM Cyber. “With XM Cyber, we now have automated, continuous processes that enable a holistic view. This makes it much easier to analyze weak points. We recognize potential attacks in advance”, explains Jenner. The early involvement of users for updates and new features is another plus.
