The risk for businesses to fall victim to a zero-day exploit has increased in recent years. More and more often, cybercriminals can take advantage of as-yet undiscovered weak points in business software in order to steal or manipulate data. It is difficult to protect against these attacks, but businesses can take some measures to improve their security.
Even formatting a hard drive under Windows or Mac does not completely wipe all data. Although wiping it is not impossible, it requires additional tools to be able to wipe a Mac hard drive or Windows hard drive with the utmost thoroughness. These can be used to safely wipe and overwrite data on both an HDD and an SSD. You can find out how this works here.
Spoofing attacks encompass a wide range of potential attack scenarios. Besides conventional approaches like IP spoofing and DNS spoofing, they also include particularly dangerous phishing attacks. Read this article to find out how spoofing attacks work and what measures you can take to protect yourself effectively.
Security gaps in IT infrastructure can risk a company’s reputation or even threaten its survival. Where criminals manage to shut down company networks or gain access to sensitive data, financial and image-related damage becomes a certainty.

Passwords are not an ideal way to surf the World Wide Web safely. They are either so complex that they are hard to remember, or so simple that they can be guessed in next to no time. FIDO2 takes a different approach and relies on modern technology. The open standard has the potential to make surfing the net safer and more convenient at the same time.
Technically, the Domain Name System (DNS) is a good thing because it allows you to access a website using its URL rather than its IP address. The domain address is then automatically interpreted as an IP address – thanks to the DNS. But despite these performance benefits, the system carries a significant risk: DNS Hijacking. The practice is simple: a hacker accesses a user’s device configuration...
