IT security in the Rhein-Erft district has never been more important: cyberattacks, data loss or downtime can severely damage small and medium-sized businesses. As an IT service provider in this region, I make sure your IT systems are reliably protected – so you can focus on your business.
Why IT security is crucial for companies in the Rhein-Erft district ⚠️
The threat from hackers is constantly increasing. Phishing, ransomware and social engineering are no longer limited to large corporations. Small and medium-sized enterprises in the Rhein-Erft district are increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals.
Many companies believe they are too small to be interesting for attackers. The reality is: attackers specifically look for systems that are poorly protected.
A recent example shows how devastating the consequences can be:
The Einhaus Group from Hamm, once Germany’s leading electronics insurance provider, was attacked in March 2023 by the ransomware group “Royal.” All systems were encrypted, and a ransom of around €200,000 was paid – but the data was never released. The results: months of downtime, damages in the mid-seven-digit range, and ultimately, insolvency. This case shows that even established medium-sized companies can be existentially threatened by a single cyberattack.
How I, as an IT service provider, ensure secure systems
As an IT service provider in the Rhein-Erft district, I specialize in securing small and medium-sized companies. My approach includes:
- Analysis of your current systems
I review your IT landscape, identify vulnerabilities, and assess risks. - Security concept and measures
Together we develop a tailored security concept with firewalls, antivirus solutions, encrypted connections, and backup strategies. - Training for your employees
Technology alone is not enough. I train you and your team to recognize phishing emails, manage passwords securely, and handle data responsibly. - Ongoing support and monitoring
IT security is a process. I continuously monitor your systems, apply updates, and react immediately to suspicious incidents.
Cyber Security Day Rhein-Erft
The importance of these topics is also highlighted by the annual Cyber Security Day organized by the Rhein-Erft Business Development Agency (more information here). At this event, current threats are presented and strategies for companies in the region are discussed. This year, I will also be attending in person and will have the opportunity to talk to companies about cybersecurity.
My goal: Making your company safe
I want you to be able to focus entirely on your core business – with the peace of mind that your IT systems are reliable and secure.
