Simple.Secure.Do. - Presentation of the IT Security Transfer Centre for SMEs

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals. The existing requirements for information security in companies (e.g. ISO 27001, VdS 10000) are just as extensive as the possible security offerings on the market. The Transfer Centre for IT Security in SMEs picks up here by supporting SMEs, self-employed persons, freelancers and craft businesses in implementing IT security in their company at a low threshold.

The centrepiece is the Sec-O-Mat - a web application that determines IT security requirements and provides suitable suggestions. It asks for company key data, business activities and possible damage scenarios, on the basis of which suitable actions and implementation proposals are recommended. These can be tracked after registration.

In addition, nationwide regional TISiM trainers support the concrete implementation of the individual recommendations.

In 60 minutes, we will introduce you to the transfer centre and its services, and an SME will report on its activities in an interview with Mr Michael Peschel, Managing Director of the transfer centre. KMW Parth GmbHa tool manufacturer from Buchen, how the Sec-O-Mat makes its work more IT-secure.
