Up-to-dateness: Always install the latest updates<\/strong><\/h3>

<\/h4>

Hackers often use bugs or security holes in the software to gain access to a system. Therefore, it is important to regularly install the latest updates. Performing updates promptly sounds trivial, but is nevertheless often forgotten. However, it is inevitable to always keep all systems up to date.

Cybercriminals often exploit gaps in the operating system to gain access to data. A problem that you can eliminate relatively easily, since many technical gaps are eliminated with a patch or update. Furthermore, programs like an antivirus solution and a firewall are important to protect the system.<\/p><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sigher safety awareness of the employees<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>

<\/h4>

IT processes are becoming increasingly complex and only a few people know their way around. Employees are therefore a frequent target of cyber attacks. It is particularly important to involve employees in the topic of IT security. This does not mean turning every employee into an IT specialist, but rather providing a basic understanding.

Employees must be regularly trained and educated in the handling of sensitive data.

It must be clearly defined who is allowed to access which data. They must also be made aware of various problem situations, such as e-mails that contain potential viruses and have not been detected by the anti-virus program.<\/p><\/a><\/div>

Complex passwords<\/strong><\/h3>

<\/h4>

Use complex and thus secure passwords that consist of a mixture of numbers, special characters, and upper and lower case letters and, at best, do not form a single word.

This way you make it more difficult for hackers to guess the password. Moreover, it makes sense to create a username that is not easy for a cybercriminal to guess.<\/p><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Download programs and data only from trusted sources<\/h3>

<\/h4>

In many activities, data and programs need to be downloaded from the Internet on a regular basis. Before downloading, make sure that the source is trustworthy.

At best, download the program from the respective manufacturer's website and not from shady third-party vendors.<\/p><\/a><\/div>

<\/h4>

If the PC becomes infected despite all protective measures, important data may be lost. Therefore, create backup copies and test them regularly with regard to their up-to-dateness, functionality and consistency.

Keep the backed up data separate and not accessible via the network. Cloud applications offer one possibility for backup copies.<\/p><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
