Clear articles on physical security, IT infrastructure and cyber security, with checklists and concrete recommendations for businesses in Austria.
Physical Security
Cameras protect property, but they also record people. This is how businesses in Austria plan and run video surveillance lawfully, from the balancing test to automatic deletion.
Physical Security
Analogue HD cameras are affordable and reuse existing coax, while IP cameras offer more detail, analytics and flexibility. Here is how to decide which system fits your site and how to migrate in stages.
Physical Security
Every IP camera is a small computer on your network. These ten measures greatly reduce the risk of it becoming a way in for attackers.
Physical Security
With the smartphone as an access credential, there are no more cards to hand out and collect. We explain the methods available, where the risks lie and how to manage them.
Physical Security
Licence plate recognition opens the barrier without a card or remote control. What companies, property managers and hotels should consider for planning, safety and data protection.
Physical Security
Grade 2 or grade 3? EN 50131 defines how resilient an intrusion alarm system must be. Here is how to find the right grade, the right detectors and a sensible transmission path.
Physical Security
Smart lights, thermostats and cameras are convenient, but every device is a small computer on your network. Here is how to run smart home and IoT devices safely at home and in the office.
Physical Security
Wired bus or wireless: the choice of smart home system shapes reliability, costs and flexibility for many years. A comparison with a clear recommendation for each type of building.
Physical Security
Cameras, door controllers and alarm panels often share the network with your PCs. This article shows where the gaps between trades lie and how a joint security plan closes them.
IT Infrastructure
Cat 7 on the cable drum does not mean Cat 7 in the link. We explain categories, shielding, PoE and fire performance, and why Cat 6A with a fibre backbone is today's standard.
IT Infrastructure
Fibre links floors, buildings and server rooms. We explain when single-mode and when multimode fits, what matters with connectors and transceivers, and how acceptance testing works.
IT Infrastructure
Only a certification test shows whether every link meets the limits of its class. What gets measured, what a good test report contains and when you should ask questions.
IT Infrastructure
Good office Wi-Fi is planned for the number of devices, not just for full signal bars. This guide explains surveys, bands, access points, security and the most common mistakes.
IT Infrastructure
In a flat network, one infected device can reach everything. This guide explains VLANs, sensible segments for SMEs, firewall rules between them and how to introduce segmentation step by step.
IT Infrastructure
Cameras, access points, phones and access readers increasingly draw their power from the network cable. Here is how to plan standards, switch power, cabling and backup power so that devices run reliably in operation.
IT Infrastructure
A small server room does not need to be a data centre. Use this checklist to review location, access, cooling, power and order in your network rack point by point.
Cyber Security
NIS2 covers far more companies than the old NIS Directive, either directly or through customers in the supply chain. Find out who is affected, what is required and how to start in a structured way.
Cyber Security
Today's phishing emails are often flawless and convincing. These twelve warning signs help your team recognise scams in time and respond correctly if someone does click.
Cyber Security
Passwords alone no longer protect business accounts. This guide shows which MFA methods suit SMEs, which accounts come first and how to roll out MFA without chaos.
Cyber Security
Before ransomware encrypts anything, attackers often go after the backups. Here is how to build a backup that survives such an attack and can actually be restored when you need it.
Cyber Security
In a ransomware attack, the first hours determine the damage and how quickly you recover. This guide shows what to do immediately, what to avoid and how to prepare beforehand.
Cyber Security
A next-generation firewall sees applications, users and threats, not just ports and addresses. This article explains the features, sizing, high availability and what SMEs really need.
Cyber Security
Antivirus, EDR, XDR and MDR sound similar but do different jobs. We explain the differences in plain terms and show which combination makes sense for small and mid-sized businesses.
Cyber Security
Microsoft protects the platform, but your settings decide how secure your tenant is. These ten settings are often missing in practice and close the most common gaps, from sign-in to backup.
Cyber Security
Zero Trust is a principle, not a product: check every access, grant only what is needed and plan for incidents. Here is how small businesses can start with tools they often already have.
Cyber Security
Many attacks exploit known vulnerabilities for which an update has long been available. Here is how to set up patch management that keeps servers, PCs, applications and network devices reliably up to date.
Cyber Security
Complex rules and 90-day changes lead to weak, predictable passwords. Here is what current NIST guidance recommends and how to put it into practice in your company.
Cyber Security
One mandatory session a year is not enough. Here is how to build an awareness programme that takes staff seriously, uses phishing simulations fairly and leads to more reports, not just fewer clicks.
Cyber Security
Firewalls, EDR and backups need ongoing care. This article explains when it pays to hand these tasks to a provider, what is usually included and what to look out for in the contract.
Cyber Security
Without SPF, DKIM and DMARC, almost anyone can send email in your domain's name. Here is how the three records work and how to introduce them without losing legitimate mail.
