The Cyber Attack, Trojans and viruses briefly explained
Everyone, who has ever experienced a system failure or suffered data loss, White, how vulnerable we are in the daily work in the office, in production and increasingly on the go. Especially those that have increased drastically in the recent past, Targeted attacks on company networks reveal the dimension of the problem. A successful attack can allow sensitive company data to fall into the wrong hands and destroy databases or even entire systems and, in extreme cases, endanger the existence of a company.
It is therefore more important than ever: Prevention is better than cure!

IT security
Companies in particular are the preferred targets of industrial espionage and cyber attacks. Information security should be one of the top management issues. Because the importance of online crime has been growing steadily for years. In addition, that “data” is becoming more and more valuable and is being targeted by attackers. It doesn't matter, whether it is an internal process, development- or contract data or even customer data.
Focus on the human factor
In addition to the technical infrastructure, the focus must be much more on the human factor. Often it is thoughtless action, the success of a cyber attack, of a trojan/ virus, for example by thoughtlessly opening e-mail attachments. But of course targeted attacks by dissatisfied employees can also lead to damage. It makes sense, develop strategies for IT security even before an event of damage occurs.
security policies
In many cases, simple protective measures are sufficient, to ward off most of the dangers: virus protection, Firewall, Spam filter and endpoint security, daily updates and data backup as well as consistently observed security guidelines, such as strong passwords.
