IT security for SMEs: New book provides practical tips
Digitalization poses huge challenges for companies. Today, nothing works without the necessary technology. At the same time, it offers a gateway for hackers, who can put SMEs in particular in existential danger.
Cybersecurity affects us all - more than ever. Because digitization is advancing, fueled by the consequences of the Corona pandemic even faster than before. However, IT security is not the best everywhere, especially among SMEs - often the necessary know-how and risk awareness are lacking. And with even more home offices, the attack surface for cybercriminals is even growing exponentially. So it's all the more important that SMEs upgrade when it comes to cybersecurity. A new book addresses this concern and provides practical support.
IT security for SMEs: How does it work?
For over 20 years, the Swiss IT security company Dreamlab Technologies has been developing IT security concepts and solutions for customers on four continents. Its founder and CEO Nicolas Mayencourt has now co-authored a book with Marc K. Peter from the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland entitled "IT Security for SMEs". In this guidebook, the authors share valuable insights from their many years of practice in the IT security and digitalization field. They raise awareness of dangers and risks and provide concrete measures to effectively counter them. The book is intended to help KM owners take important precautions to sensitize themselves, their employees and partners and to plan further security precautions with IT specialists.
Support for IT security concepts suitable for SMEs
The authors clearly explain which strategies have proven effective in protecting against threats from attackers and also provide checklists and step-by-step instructions. Based on the most important topics - infrastructure and technology, communication, organization and legal matters, and access management - an IT security concept is created that makes companies fit for the future. Readers learn which strategies have proven effective in protecting against threats and risks posed by technology, the Internet and digitization. The book (ISBN 978-3-03875-343-8) is available in the Observer Publishing published and also available there.
