Safe data, safe future: Entrepreneurs in the focus of IT security

In Freistadt, 30 entrepreneurs recently gathered at the Hagenberg University of Applied Sciences in order to deal intensively with the topic of data security. Under the motto "Are you sure you are safe?" a critical consideration of the dangers of the Internet age was initiated.

Elvira Fleischanderl, the district chairwoman of women in the economy, asked the explosive question that many concerns: "It is not the question of whether it is caught, but when." This illustrates the urgency to deal with phenomena such as data theft, hacking attacks and phishing fraud. The event had the clear goal of not only addressing the dangers, but also offering practical solutions for prevention.

The "Security Trio", consisting of Andrea Kolberger, Daniela Pühringer and Robert Kolmhofer, who functions as department head at the Hagenberg University of Applied Sciences, led the participants through the topic of the security gaps in a vivid way. The aim was to expand the knowledge of the safe use of cell phones and digital media.

A particularly impressive moment was the demonstration of how an old cell phone was shredded so thoroughly that a reconstruction of the data stored on it was simply impossible. This method is intended to point out how important it is to treat data safely and take the right measures.

The discussions and practical units of the event have contributed to raising awareness of digital security and better preparing the participants for future risks. Another step in the right direction to make entrepreneurs safer in the digital age. More Details on this exciting topic can be found in an article on www.tips.at .
