Attacks on SMEs are on the rise: Between January and April 8.500, 2025 SME employees were deceived with fake services such as ChatGPT, Teams, or Zoom, resulting in a significant amount of malware being distributed under the guise of free help.

A total of around 2025 SME employees were targeted by such malware in the first four months of 8.500. Attacks disguised as ChatGPT (115 percent increase), Microsoft Teams (100 percent), and Zoom (13 percent) increased significantly. In addition, employees…

In the current white paper, security experts explain why cyberattacks can be costly for companies: On average, one incident causes damage amounting to...

A successful cyberattack is usually only a matter of time. This basic assumption is the crucial first step, even for smaller companies, in preparing for the consequences of a cybersecurity incident.

But unfortunately, even small things can cause great damage. A basic awareness of the dangers and necessary measures, knowing the right contacts in an emergency, and basic IT security technologies and processes can...

SMEs: Four tips for more cybersecurity

More and more SMEs are falling victim to cyber attacks. But it is precisely these companies that often lack the resources to take effective preventive measures and keep their own systems up to date. In the years 2018 to 2020 alone, almost 30 percent of German SMEs fell victim to cybercrime, according to an analysis by KfW. This is therefore a concrete threat that can lead to enormous business damage. At the same time, EU-wide regulations such as NIS-2 and DORA stipulate that managers in certain industries can also be held personally liable for IT security breaches, which...

Managed security services and training for SMEs

Cyber ​​attacks are not only directed against large companies; SMEs are also often affected. There is often a lack of resources and skills for IT security there.
