Endpoint/Extended Detection & Response (EDR & XDR)
EDR solutions play a key role in helping companies to detect attacks on end devices at an early stage and respond to them quickly. They enable continuous monitoring and analysis of suspicious activities in order to ward off threats before they cause damage.
XDR extends this approach with a holistic security solution that aggregates threat data from different IT areas such as networks, cloud and endpoints. This gives companies a more comprehensive security architecture with centralized threat management. The developments of manufacturers and service providers in these areas are being watched with excitement and the end of the line is far from being reached. The supreme discipline in particular, i.e. fully comprehensive security operations platforms, are among the major innovations.
Zero Trust & Identitäts- and Zugriffsmanagement (IAM)
The Zero Trust concept is based on the idea that no user or device is automatically classified as trustworthy. Companies are increasingly establishing this kind of end-to-end “skepticism” and integrating solutions to manage it. This realization will continue to gain ground, driven above all by the ever-increasing damage caused by cybercrime.
A key trend here is Identity & Access Management, which significantly strengthens the zero-trust principle in the field of identity security through multi-factor authentication and role- and condition-based access rights. This ensures that users are identified, authenticated and authorized if they are allowed to do so. Advanced solutions involve apps themselves and, above all, devices in order to regulate authorizations across all interfaces.
DevSecOps & secure Software Supply Chains
The increasing integration of security measures into the development process through DevSecOps ensures that applications are designed securely from the outset. Automated security scans and vulnerability analyses help to identify and rectify errors at an early stage.
At the same time, security measures for software supply chains are becoming increasingly important. Companies are increasingly relying on digital signatures, code reviews and compliance frameworks to ensure that their software products and suppliers meet the highest security standards.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) & Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
As more and more companies rely on cloud environments, modern security architectures that guarantee protection in this area are becoming increasingly important. This is nothing new. However, SASE combines network security functions with zero trust principles to enable secure, decentralized cloud usage.
Finally, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) helps companies to identify and automatically rectify misconfigurations in cloud environments. This reduces security gaps and ensures improved compliance with regulatory requirements.
IoT Security Solutions & OT Security
Securing networked devices is essential to prevent attacks on company networks. Companies are increasingly relying on IoT security platforms that ensure secure authentication, encrypted communication and regular software updates.
Operational Technology (OT) security will also become increasingly important. Hardly any other area is as difficult to secure from an IT perspective as production environments. However, security systems for industrial control systems must also be able to protect critical infrastructures from cyberattacks in an extremely digitalized world. It must become a matter of course, for example, to enable network segmentation in order to prevent malware from spreading. This is why innovative manufacturers will increasingly focus on this area.
Conclusion: IT Security Solutions as the Key to Corporate Resilience
IT security in 2025 will be characterized by comprehensive protective measures and innovative security architectures. Companies that invest in modern security concepts such as security operations platforms, XDR, IAM, SASE and DevSecOps will strengthen their resilience to cyber threats. Those who commit to proactive and automated approaches at an early stage ensure that the company remains protected and future-proof in the long term.
Our tip:
Comprehensive, innovative IT security, as a leading cybersecurity enabler on the market for over 20 years, all from a single source with industry-leading managed services - we are true experts in zero trust architectures and state-of-the-art security solutions. We feel at home in practically all areas of the trends mentioned, from EDR/XDR to SASE.
We even go several steps further. XDR is just one component of our proprietary security platform DTS Cockpit, which combines security operations, incident response, purple teaming and much more in a holistic, round-the-clock service. As an IT security manufacturer, we have also taken the IAM area in DTS Identity to the next level. Instead of a simple security solution, we provide a central platform for clear rules for multi-factor authentication, device compliance, conditional access and access authorizations - all automated, efficient and resource-saving, without uncontrolled growth in management, fully compliant without outsourcing sensitive data. A dedicated 24/7 SOC, comprehensive assessments, red teaming, information security (NIS2, BSI, GDPR, KRITIS, ...) etc. complete the picture of a cybersecurity pioneer.
Anyone can say that? 1,000 IT security and 1,400 managed services customers who benefit from end-to-end consulting and support for modular, affordable 24/7 managed security services speak for themselves. In addition, 750 customers already use security software “Made by DTS”. Are you ready for the future of IT security? Then there is no way around DTS!
