When a new virus started to change the whole world, anyone who could worked from home. Everyone had to protect themselves and most people wanted to, especially as the disease was still largely unknown. We knew it was contagious. Contacts had to be avoided. At the time, the IT departments that were preparing for endpoint security and business continuity were able to scale quickly – all went well. My home office was up and running! In that respect, the virus looked stupid...
Despite an increasing number of cyber attacks, some companies still do not take IT security seriously enough. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular often assume that they are too small to be a lucrative target for cybercriminals. Unfortunately, the exact opposite is true.
Software supply chains have become a dangerous vulnerability in organizations and may allow attackers to penetrate internal networks. Although the risk is high, organizations can still take action to protect themselves and prevent attacks through this supply chain vulnerability.The days when small teams or freelancers were able to develop an application and bring it to market are long gone. Instead, programmers today often rely on external frameworks, libraries, and other components...
The global pandemic has finally turned the world of workupside down. Many offices where employees used to perform the majority of their work are now vacant. Today, most people are either working from home or doing so remotely. Even though at the current moment the coronavirus is perceived as a lower risk by many, companies are still being cautious. Many have also now also recognized the advantages of remote working models.
Erica got her master’s in Simulation Sciences at RWTH University in Aachen in April 2020. Shortly thereafter, she started her job as Systems Engineer at NCP in June 2020. Here she has taken on many different technical roles and has shown mastery of the German and English languages, by helping bridge the gaps between customers and NCP using both. Outside of work she enjoys spending time in nature and taking on new experiences, whether that be by traveling or simply just trying something new.
Ransomware attacks are particularly cruel: Cyber criminals encrypt data and demand a ransom for its safe release, threatening that they will either delete data to bring a company to its knees or make the data public. For important business data and sensitive, personal information, this is a horrifying scenario and disaster for every company. The Allianz Risk Barometer 2022 even identified ransomware as one of the biggest business risks worldwide...
"Welcome to the final episode of Tobi’s take on secure communications, where we have already learned so much about Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) together. After reading this post, you’ll be even better informed about VPNs and have a clearer picture about some of the myths surrounding the technology. How can this new knowledge benefit you? Well, using VPNs is becoming so commonplace that it’s certainly not a bad idea to understand a little more about it..."
There’s a lot of nonsense said about passwords. Repeated prompts to change passwords have become obsolete and they can even end up weakening security. We comment on the current situation and show how you can better protect your critical systems from unwanted intruders.
The development of digitalization in Germany throughout the coronavirus pandemic is a disruptive form of innovation.

The first VPNs were introduced more than 30 years ago. However, in the modern working environment with remote work and cloud applications, classic VPNs are reaching their limits. Many companies today choose powerful cloud VPNs from external providers to protect highly complex environments.
In our previous blog post on 2FA/MFA, we have already addressed the question of how the free software KeePass can be used as a backup solution for a TOTP authenticator. This time we will look at how TOTP itself works and which service providers are relevant to the companies that already support 2FA with time-based one-time passwords.
Remote work via secure VPN access is more important than ever. New technologies, increasing networking and flexible working models are changing the way we work. Companies that need to ensure business continuity are also at risk due to external circumstances such as severe weather or pandemics. There is no better time than now for companies to rethink their VPN strategy.
