With the EU NIS 2 directive, BSI standards, a multitude of industry-specific rules and specifications, as well as the company’s own security requirements, the need for cyber security experts increases. If you want to avoid “blind spots” in your Security Operations Center (SOC) and your IT security strategy, neurodiversity will be a central part in your teams. According to a study by the IT security manufacturer BitDefender, security managers, CIOs, CISOs agree with this. They understand that it takes different perspectives to anticipate all possible attack vectors and methods used by cybercriminals. A central tenet for all companies is how safety requires conscious effort at all hours of the day – an effort where our autistic abilities can make a big difference.
Thanks to their enhanced capabilities, the IT security consultants at Unicus find that which others miss. They think outside the box and are strong in discovering norm deviations and behaviorial changes inside software or network components. Our work is characterized by attention to detail, great care, and the ability for detailed documentation. They also rapidly absorb lots of new knowledge and are often absolute experts in “their” special interest area.
The ability to detect discrepancies, gaps in processes, and standards deviations day after day maximizes security in any IT environment.
Those who approach new scenarios without preconceived notions and biases better understand the thought patterns of cybercriminals, preventing attacks.
Even the best strategy for IT security is worthless if one is not honest about reporting mistakes and gaps. This is what autistic people insist on – until the mistake is corrected.
Securify-conscious and innovative companies worldwide value the abilities of our autistic consultants.
“The task is to provide an objective, fact-based assessment in a short space of time of where Siemens stands in international comparison with regard to Zero Trust. Max has quickly and efficiently got up to speed, is very productive and is well received by the interviewees with his friendly, matter-of-fact and direct manner… he is definitely an asset to the project.”
– Johannes Ixmeier, Projektleiter, Siemens Cybersecurity
