IT Forensics Bochum | IT Security Bochum

Cyber crime is one of the offence categories whose case numbers increase markedly almost every year. In the digital age, protecting both personal and corporate data is essential. Our Bochum IT specialists will be pleased to advise you in detail on how to protect yourself against data theft and which steps to take after an IT attack: +49 234 3075 0073.

Optimisation Of System Security

To prevent data leakage by unauthorised third parties, every company and private person should inform themselves about the optimal protection of computers, smartphones and other electronic data carriers. Private individuals face the risk of involuntary disclosure of login data (including online banking), personal images, protectable intellectual content, credit card information and so on. Companies face the danger of product and development data being stolen, which can render years of research worthless. Reputation and image losses are also a risk if it becomes known that, for example, customer and supplier data have been accessed.

As a preventative measure you as an employer can act yourself by raising your employees’ awareness of IT security, restricting access rights for staff to the specific areas relevant to their duties, changing passwords/codes at short intervals and creating backup copies on external media. If you need assistance with these measures, our academically trained IT experts in Bochum are available to help both with these measures and with system protection against external attacks. We check the current security standard, analyse the weaknesses and the individual threat potentials of your company, so that optimised protective measures can be implemented that are flexible in scope and depth to suit the circumstances and the company’s willingness to invest (economic efficiency).

Data Loss, Data Destruction, Data Recovery

One of the worst nightmares for most entrepreneurs is that internal data will fall into unauthorised hands – possibly even into those of a competitor. Installing malware on a computer is usually relatively simple, as there are many vectors for doing so: transmission of the software via e-mails, implantation of spyware by one of your employees who has been bribed by a competitor or even infiltrated by them, hacking of company networks by professional internet criminals, etc. It will be almost impossible for a layperson to detect such attacks and render the unauthorised external accesses harmless, because ordinary antivirus programmes are often insufficient. Accordingly, data exfiltration frequently occurs unnoticed over months. The work of our IT forensics experts in Bochum goes far deeper than what conventional anti-spyware can achieve. We are not only able to detect and eliminate hidden malware, but depending on the investigative budget and the thoroughness of the perpetrator, we can trace the perpetrators of the attacks and provide court-admissible evidence. In most cases we are also able to reconstruct damaged data almost completely.

We of course also assist private individuals – with preventative protective measures as well as with IT-forensic investigations after an unwanted data leakage. Please use our contact form for your enquiry or call us on +49 234 3075 0073.
