Weitzer Parkett - one of Europe's leading parquet manufacturers - wanted to effectively and permanently strengthen its own IT security within the company.

After a successful cyberattack: Allgeier secion optimizes IT security at Martin Baur GmbH

In the course of digitalization, even small and medium-sized enterprises have to process more and more information and data. The data is elementarily important for maintaining operational processes. New technologies, for example the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as the globalization of the entire economy are making the network of digital services ever more closely meshed. The more sensitive and critical a company's own data is, the greater the need for protection. Current security analyses show that companies worldwide are at permanent risk of falling victim to cyber attacks. Particularly critical data must be adequately and continuously protected against cybercrime, such as sabotage, espionage and loss, in accordance with the EU Data Protection Regulation. In the event of a compromise, there is a risk of financial damage as well as loss of reputation. In addition, managing directors of a limited liability company can be held liable in the event of damage if they have not adequately secured their systems - in some cases, this can result in severe fines! In this context, penetration tests enable the rapid detection and elimination of IT and information security vulnerabilities that could result in a loss of personal data as defined by the EU GDPR. In this article, you will learn which pentesting methods are particularly suitable for medium-sized businesses and which of them is the right one for your company.
