Fresh wind in IT security – and the media: Laika partners with KALWEIT ITS to boost communication

 
 

Phishing, malware or cross-site scripting: Cybercrime wears many faces and is a global phenomenon that knows no borders, nor does it stop at locked doors. It's no wonder, then, that cybersecurity spending has been steadily increasing for years. For 2023, global cybersecurity expenditures across governments, businesses, and institutions were estimated to be around $80 billion.

It’s a topic that deserves top priority, and educating about it and handling it properly has never been more crucial. That’s why we’re particularly excited to now take on the communications consulting for KALWEIT ITS and welcome them as a new client! Not only will we raise awareness about cybersecurity and cyber risks – we will also help put Forbes Under 30 listmaker and entrepreneur Philipp Kalweit, and his company KALWEIT ITS, in the spotlight. After all, staying secure in the digital world isn’t just about firewalls; it’s about building a strong connection to the right people, too!

KALWEIT ITS: Securing the future one byte at a time

Founder Philipp Kalweit's journey into the world of cybersecurity began at just 9 years old, when he cracked a discount code system for an online game. His passion grew from there, and by the age of 14, he was already delivering expert talks on cybersecurity at Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). These early experiences ultimately led him to found KALWEIT ITS in 2017.

KALWEIT ITS is a forward-thinking cybersecurity firm. The company specializes in helping businesses of all sizes understand and mitigate digital risks and offers a comprehensive, all-in-one service, handling everything from IT security strategies to technical implementation, all while ensuring clients are protected with tailored solutions.

Today, KALWEIT ITS offers penetration testing and consulting services to help companies identify and address security vulnerabilities. Unlike automated tests, Philipp and his team take a more realistic, hands-on approach—because, as he puts it, “A real attacker doesn’t follow a script.” With his bold vision, Philipp aims to position KALWEIT ITS as the 'Hidden Hero' of the cybersecurity world, providing encrypted solutions and expert guidance to protect businesses from emerging threats.
