Small and medium-sized companies, often the backbone of the economy, are particularly susceptible to cyber attacks. A needs analysis of the Aalen University of Applied Sciences shows that management in many of these companies often does not have sufficient knowledge and the necessary resources to prepare themselves against cyber threats. This uncertainty has led to the development of a special advice that is focused on the needs of these companies.

advisory services in detail

The advisory service includes a free one -hour initial consultation for the analysis of the company's security status. If necessary, in -depth follow -up images can be used. The aim is to sensitize those responsible in companies to the challenges in the field of cyber security. This is done through a structured needs analysis and the provision of a special questionnaire, the evaluation and visualization of which provides important findings.

collaboration for more security

The state of Baden-Württemberg, supported by partners such as the State Criminal Police Office and the Aalen University of Applied Sciences, has launched this initiative to raise awareness of cyber security in the region. Deputy Prime Minister Thomas Strobl emphasized the importance of safe digital projects and the role that the medium -sized companies play.
