Cloud vs. in-house server: What is the best choice? Image: Bing - AI

Nowadays, most cyber attacks begin without the use of malware, but with the help of compromised access data. As a result, despite numerous security measures, cyber criminals can easily gain access to systems in order to then, for example, spread ransomware, encrypt data, exfiltrate sensitive data or even block IT assets. Cyber ​​resilience with reliable and sustainable recovery options after an attack is crucial in order to quickly recover from its effects...

Cyber ​​attacks: Inadequate security in German companies

Although simple steps can increase security, only 64,5 percent of German companies implement password guidelines, 58,0 percent create backups and 54,0 percent use multi-factor authentication.
