What is the threat of a successful hacker attack?

Often operational inability to act - for days, weeks or months, not to mention the loss of reputation. 

This makes IT security one of, if not the Future factor for companies of all sizes. Cyber attacks can quickly become an existential risk, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). 

The threat situation is constantly increasing and the consequences are serious. This makes the results of a system house study conducted in cooperation with forsa Gesellschaft für Sozialforschung und statistische Analysen mbH all the more surprising: 

This suggests that SMEs in particular continue to underestimate the dangers posed by cyber criminals - despite constant media coverage. Only 36% of companies with fewer than 500 IT workstations consider the risk of falling victim to a cyberattack in the next twelve months to be high. By comparison, the figure is 47% for companies with 500 to 5,000 workstations.

When it comes to prevention, it is important to ensure that up-to-date or new security technologies are used, in terms of Detection introduce permanent or at least regular monitoring and have an appropriate concept in place for emergencies.
