Working with Laokoon Security requires commitment and dedication. But you get it back twice and three times over. They find vulnerabilities that others overlook and assess them with their background and experience as real attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laokoon SecurITy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Laokoon SecurITy was founded in 2016 by a collective of experienced hackers from the German Armed Forces and other federal security agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With our focus and expertise in offensive security, penetration tests and red teaming campaigns are not only an integral part of our portfolio, but our core competence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This specialisation is also reflected in our other products, which benefit from our experience as an attacker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our employees can draw on many years of experience in the areas of IT operations, (IT) risk management and IT security management. We have already faced many exciting challenges, such as the organisational and technical protection of networked data centres or the design, implementation and operation of DMZs for federal authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our certifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are comprehensively certified to the highest standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laokoon SecurITy is founded<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

A collective of hackers from the German Armed Forces decides to found Laokoon Security and offer as a service what all the founders are passionate about: Hacking and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laokoon Security becomes a UG and publishes book<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

After the first extensive assignments as a sideline, it becomes clear that the collective is developing as an entrepreneur. The first employees are hired and the book \"Cybersecurity in der Praxis\" is published by IDW Verlag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change of shareholders and growth<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Following a change in the shareholder structure, Laokoon Security is continuing to focus on its core business: providing high-quality offensive cybersecurity services to the German market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laokoon Security wins the Cybersecurity Ideas Competition and is invited to take part in the Cybersecurity Accelerator Programme of the Digitalhub.DE<\/a> invited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with other partners, Laokoon Security is also organising one of the largest German hacker competitions<\/a> and continues to grow in terms of personnel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laokoon SecurITy becomes a limited liability company<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The prepared change of corporate form is completed. Laokoon Security now operates as a limited liability company. We continue to attach great importance to absolute independence, which is why we do not have any external investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the second time, Laokoon Security is organising a hacker competition with partners in Bonn, which is officially Germany's largest Capture The Flag event with 120 participants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cybersecurity in practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The founders of Laokoon SecurITy published the practical guide \"Cybersecurity in Practice\" back in 2019. In July, the brand-new, updated second edition was published in the IDW Publishing House<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This practical guide introduces you to the topic of cybersecurity.
Various relevant aspects are clearly illustrated without assuming any prior technical knowledge. The authors highlight potential risks for your practice and your customers and explain possible courses of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other things, the book looks at state-of-the art measures for basic cybersecurity protection and evaluates these, for example based on the expected costs or the complexity of the measure for different company sizes.

In addition to a description of your own room for manoeuvre, you will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the measures presented.

The practical guide also provides an insight into the following current topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
