Join the Alliance Cyber Security

The Alliance for Cyber Security (ACS) is a platform established by the BSI for exchanging information and experiences relating to cyber security within the field of business. As participants in the initiative, which now has 7643 members, companies are part of a strong network. It offers a wealth of experience and can often provide crucial support, particularly in the event of an IT security incident. Joining the Alliance for Cyber Security for free is therefore a simple and sensible way for any company to increase its IT security.
