Ruhr Security

We are a new company founded by the end of 2022 in Bochum, Germany. The co-founders of Ruhr Security met for the first time at the Ruhr University of Bochum two decades ago while studying IT Security. After finishing their studies, they had separate career paths for many years, among others, in large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and IBM, but their paths crossed again in Bochum. The city with the well-established security hub and the slogan "Ich komm aus wir". Ruhr Security provides innovative IT security solutions and services for large enterprises focusing on cloud. We address the IT security needs of our customers independently of platforms and vendors. We develop tailored solutions that take into account existing business processes and corporate regulations. We are "Ready4Innovation", always striving to adopt the latest technologies and drive security through innovation. Apart from that, we are witnessing that cyber warfare is expanding and that alarming facts are overwhelming enterprises: The number of hacker-relevant vulnerabilities is increasing; up to a vulnerability every two days. The time to spot vulnerable systems is decreasing. It has become a matter of hours to scan the entire Internet for a specific vulnerability. The complexity of hacking vulnerabilities is decreasing. An example hacking code is typically published online, and the corresponding tools are open source and free of charge. At the same time, enterprises are facing the challenge of keeping an always up-to-date overview of their IT assets due to highly dynamic changes. As a result, even enterprises heavily investing in IT security fall victim to hacker attacks. To help enterprises tackle these issues, we have developed a novel attack surface monitoring service, and we offer our customers many years of offensive security experience.
