Optimal cyber security

“Those who do not face up to digitalisation will get knocked out.” Former boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko summed up the reality of the working world beautifully with this one phrase. Many companies are shifting large parts of their work processes and communication ever further into the digital realm. Cyber protection is, therefore, a top priority. This is because cyber- and hacker attacks represent the most prominent risk for German companies.

At FidesSecur, a team of experts focuses on the scenarios that shape and define far-reaching cyber protection, and works with companies that have serious exposure to such risk potential: especially those businesses working in insurance, banking, financial services, international trade and data centre management.

Cyber protection against hacker attacks

Technologies are developing at a breath-taking speed and the demand for mobile office solutions is increasing rapidly – the digitalisation pressure on businesses is immense. IT infrastructure and security systems must always be up-to-date in cybersecurity due to (global) networking. This is because online crime usually causes excessive damage.

In addition to conventional attack tools such as DDoS attacks and ransomware, cyber attacks are increasingly taking place via methods such as spear-fishing or social engineering. Classic firewalls or similar defence measures are, therefore, no longer sufficient when it comes to hacker attacks.

In order for companies to remain operational, cybersecurity must be a top priority. This is the only way to ensure the best possible protection against hackers. Cyber insurance is an essential aspect of such an IT security strategy.
