Respond correctly to hacker attacks Hacker attacks cyber attacks open source It may seem like alarmism to some but it cannot be said often enough the risk of becoming a victim of a cyber attack increases every year. Companies should no longer ask themselves whether it will happen to them at some point but rather when. In many places the correct response to a hacker attack still leaves a lot to be desired. And when it comes to precautionary measures most companies still have room for improvement.
The increased use of open source . The Federal Office for Country Email List Information Security BSI has once again provided worrying figures.

But what is certain is that the situation is getting worse every year. It is all the more astonishing how calmly many companies treat the topic.
Small and mediumsized companies in particular are often of the opinion that they will not fall into the crosshairs of hackers. We regularly make security updates and there isnt much to gain from us anyway is often the motto. There is therefore no plan in such companies as to what should happen after an attack. They overlook the fact that for hackers it is just the push of a button that can lead to damage that threatens their existence.
