Cyber Security

What is cyber security?

Cyber security protects systems, networks, mobile devices, applications and data from digital attacks. It ensures that sensitive information such as personal data or business data remains secure.

Typical threats include phishing, social engineering, ransomware, denial of service and DDoS attacks. In these attacks, attackers attempt to disrupt systems or steal data. The aim of cyber security is to identify such risks at an early stage and prevent damage.

A good security concept consists of several layers. These include

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
• Cloud application security
• Security tools such as firewalls and virus protection
• Regular updates and backups

Detection and response also plays an important role. This is about recognizing attacks and reacting quickly.

Why is cyber security so important?

Digitalization brings new opportunities – but also new risks. With cloud services, working from home and the Internet of Things (IoT), the IT infrastructure is growing. This also increases the attack surface.

Cyber security helps to detect threats and prevent damage. A single incident can cause high financial losses. It also helps to comply with legal requirements such as the GDPR.

Companies that rely on strong cyber security not only protect their data. They also secure the trust of their customers and partners. Even simple cyber security tips – such as strong passwords and training – significantly increase security.
