Christopher Ruppricht

At the beginning of December 2022, Christopher Ruppricht took up his new position as CISO at the German credit agency Schufa. His task is to work with his team to develop and maintain the IT security management system.

In addition to supporting the implementation of risk analyses and the creation of security concepts as well as vulnerability and threat management, this also includes raising employee awareness.
