🎉 Congratulations! If you've got this POAP, you’re officially in the exclusive club of folks who are ready to break free from the Bayer CloudTech UserGroup email chain! 🥳 Time to wave goodbye to those inbox notifications! ✌️💌

This webcast focused on updates regarding Bayer IT DSO initiatives and our path forward in the new operating model in 2025.

You were invited to our Q4/2024 Townhall, where we explored our future organization based on what has been agreed upon until then. Updates from our Leadership Team included insights from the PH Strategy Summit, which did initiate discussions on our financials and the strategic mid- and long-term outcomes for Pharma. Additionally, we reflected on the results of the Ownership Pulse (formerly known as Employee Voice), discussed further considerations, and allocated time for a Q&A session. This token serves as appreciation for and proof of your participation.

Bringing DSO ways of working to R&D IT.

Change Your Password Day is a crucial initiative that underscores the significance of cybersecurity in our interconnected world. Cyber-attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. A vast number of breaches are due to compromised, weak passwords. The most common passwords still include easily guessable sequences like "123456" and "password," making it effortless for cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access. High-profile incidents, such as the Equifax breach or the attack on Yahoo, exemplify the devastating consequences of inadequate cybersecurity measures, affecting millions of users worldwide and leading to significant financial and reputational damage. Moreover, the emergence of generative AI and quantum computing introduces complex challenges in password security. Generative AI can be used to create sophisticated phishing attempts, while quantum computing threatens to break current encryption standards, potentially rendering traditional password protection obsolete. It's essential to acknowledge these challenges and advocate for stronger security measures. Adopting multi-factor authentication, using complex and unique passwords, and staying informed about cybersecurity trends are pivotal steps in safeguarding our digital identities.
