Cybercrime: Victims Watch Out!

Cybercrime poses a real and serious threat to every company. Even if IT specialists are successfully implementing security measures to reduce the overall vulnerability of IT systems (especially operating systems are now less prone to successful hacking attempts than in previous years) and hacking gets more difficult, cyber-attacks against IT systems are always increasing.

Increased awareness

Not only is the danger of being attacked increasing; the awareness of victims whose data has been hacked is much higher now than it was even just a few years ago. Companies are more aware that, due to the extended use of IT systems in all types of business processes and decisions, the potential damage from a breach of IT security is enormous. Attacks on the security or integrity of sensitive client- and customer data stored on company servers thus also pose a threat from increased data protection awareness.
