Mapping business needs
onto technology

Digital networks encompass local business networks, data centers (e.g. “the cloud”), the global internet, and comprise servers, workstations, printers, telephone systems, video surveillance systems, removable media such as USB sticks, mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, as well as any other digital devices that can be connected to the network or are part of its infrastructure like firewalls, switches, access points, etc.

At the same time, the concept of a network must be considered broadly enough to also include the human element.

Social engineering, the targeted attack on the human element, can pose as great a security risk as a technical vulnerability at the hardware and software level.

The security of a network is therefore not only determined by the constantly evolving and complex technical measures, but also requires the comprehensible communication of specialist knowledge, the creation of awareness and behavioral patterns against the increasingly sophisticated attempts to exploit the people behind the technology in order to circumvent technical security barriers.
