Management & Training

Predatory data theft can put your entire business at risk. Many companies are even required to notify government authorities of serious IT security incidents. Specific security standards have become mandatory to keep the inherent risks of a networked society under control. While an effective security strategy involves far more than just a security suite, it’s important to implement cutting-edge software in all areas of your business. Even if you can’t guarantee one hundred percent security, your company should build its protective barriers as high as possible.

In today’s business world, data is shared around the globe in various ways—in the cloud, by e-mail and via mobile devices—each requiring its own type of security. Even sensitive data is stored externally to enable access from anywhere. Rapid growth in the digital age wouldn’t be possible without such open structures but, unfortunately, this also gives rise to devious schemes. It’s therefore essential to protect yourself, and our Bechtle online shop carries effective solutions by leading manufacturers—from Symantec, Trend Micro, Kaspersky and Gemalto to G Data, Tenable and many more. We offer hundreds of software solutions, covering infrastructure, data centres and endpoints.

Incorporating notebooks, tablets and smartphones into your network opens up new opportunities for hackers to penetrate your systems. Devices must therefore also be integrated into your company’s security structure—endpoint security management is the name of the game. Nevertheless, each aspect of security is closely linked with all the others. For example, data sharing on mobile devices is also addressed by mobile security and cloud security solutions. Highly specialised software is available from providers such as Kaspersky, which offers Kaspersky Security for Mobile. Also available are security suites, which combine multiple protection programs and usually include antiviruses and firewalls. Additional measures to protect yourself from cyber criminality include network and gateway security. And it’s crucial to raise awareness among your employees. Special attention should be paid to data security and data deletion, requiring excellent management and reporting.
