In today's digital world, it is essential for companies to digitize their business models in order to remain competitive. However, with digitization come new risks and challenges, especially in the area of cyber security. Cybercriminals are looking for vulnerabilities to infiltrate companies and steal sensitive data or manipulate systems. Therefore, it is important for companies to protect their digital resources from such attacks.
According to a special analysis of the "Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau" (KfW) SME Panel, three out of ten German SMEs were victims of cybercrime between 2018 and 2020. Larger companies with more than 100 employees and those with pronounced digitization activities were particularly affected. Most attacks targeted extortion of ransom or silence money, or were carried out through targeted overloading of websites.
One way to protect against such attacks is to implement cyber security measures. It is important for companies to take a proactive approach and take steps to protect their digital resources. This includes regular firewall checks, updating operating systems and applications, and training employees in cyber security. Implementing encryption technologies and using password managers can also help increase the security of digital resources.
