Reading time: 14 minutes
With the increasing digitization of infrastructure and companies, the danger of cyber attacks is rising at the same time. Hackers gain access to critical data via security gaps in the IT. In this way, criminals gain access to highly confidential information, and in the worst case they can disable technical systems.
For the affected institutions, this sometimes has considerable negative consequences. They often have to deal with high additional costs. If you want to avoid this scenario, you should contact us.

A cyber attack represents a deliberate and malicious attempt to compromise an institution’s IT system. Attackers hope to gain an advantage by doing so. It often involves data theft and the associated blackmail. It is also possible for criminals to disrupt business processes and permanently damage the reputation of the victim. In the age of digitization, it is therefore essential to invest in cyber security. With the right approach and technology, a multitude of virtual attacks can be warded off.
In order to initiate measures in the event of a cyber attack, a cyber attack contingency plan should be drawn up for such a case. Because here, too, prevention is better than cure. The content of the plan depends on the type of attack and the IT environment of the institution. Here, it is a good idea to consult a security expert – they can offer you help with the cyber attack, assisting you with the question: “Cyber attack, what to do?”.
In the event of a network intrusion, the first thing to do is damage limitation. The next steps depend on the scope of the attack. In the case of a local attack, it is sometimes sufficient to change the admin password. However, if you suspect a widespread attack, you may have to take some systems offline. In this case, it is a matter of damage limitation until you have traced the source of the cyber attack.
Remember that every cyber attack is a criminal act. You need to gather evidence both for your cyber attack insurance and for law enforcement. Especially if an attack has already been stopped, quick action is necessary – because hackers often cover their tracks.
