Called CyberCompare it has “a team of cybersecurity experts in Germany and the UK”, according to Bosch. “The platform can compare quotes from more than 7,000 providers of cybersecurity solutions and providers for enterprise IT, operational technology and IoT environments.”
Electronics Weekly has requested further details on the basis of comparisons – so watch this space.
So far the company has said: “The vast amount of cybersecurity tools, software, and vendors available means it is increasingly difficult for IT leaders to choose a solution that is most affordable and effective to suit their business needs. The platform offers advisory services related to procurement and implementation of cybersecurity solutions to fit an organisation’s security and broader organisational needs. Bosch CyberCompare is 100% independent and acts on the customer’s behalf, does not have any sales partnerships with vendors, and has already gained significant experience from helping over 200 external customers make decisions in cybersecurity.”
It claims to provide specification templates, recommendations, anonymised requests for proposals, comparisons of provider quotes and will run RFQs (requests for quotes).
“Why should every organisation start from scratch when purchasing cybersecurity, instead of building on good practices and benefitting from platform effects?” asked CyberCompare founder and CEO Jannis Stemmann.
