G DATA CyberDefense

(T)

G DATA CyberDefense AG, based in Bochum, develops business security software and combines it with training and security services. Endpoint Security protects and manages PCs, servers and mobile devices; the established business products use a local management server. XDR correlates signals from multiple endpoints in a cloud-based web console and is intended for IT teams that handle analysis and response themselves. Managed XDR adds round-the-clock monitoring and response by the G DATA Security Operations Center in Bochum. G DATA 365 Mail Protection separately protects Microsoft Exchange Online mailboxes, including access from devices without an endpoint agent. Security Awareness training teaches staff about security, while phishing simulations add configurable test campaigns, feedback and reporting. During an attack, the Incident Response Service provides forensic analysis, containment and support for recovery; a retainer also covers preparation and agreed response times. Penetration tests and IT Security Consulting address technical weaknesses, hardening and emergency plans. Buyers should distinguish locally managed endpoint protection, self-operated XDR and the managed SOC, and assess supported systems, the Exchange Online dependency, response authority and exclusions for critical devices, and the contractually agreed scope of help. G DATA's official pages offer consulting and incident response; the role of the G DATA Advanced Analytics GmbH named there needs separate clarification when contracting. The observed Heise article remains a separate third-party source.
