Effective cyber security is only achieved when the numerous messages and alarms from the installed systems are registered and, above all, responded to competently. According to a recent survey by Sophos, however, the necessary overview and response does not seem to be guaranteed in 43 percent of companies. Techconsult surveyed a total of 200 IT managers in Germany on behalf of Sophos....

Cybersicherheitsvorfälle: Fehlendes Budget ist ein Risikofaktor
