Vodafone Germany has launched a new Cyber Security Centre in Düsseldorf which aims to support and protect small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the digital world.
The Centre will employ more than 100 security experts, working around the clock to monitor, analyse and resolve cyber security issues for companies throughout the country.
SMEs: a growing target for cyber criminals
Small and medium-sized companies are the backbone of the German economy, but also a popular target for cyber criminals.
While large corporations often have large IT teams and dedicated resources to counter cyber-attacks, SMEs can be unprepared and unprotected. Their relative lack of cyber expertise makes them frequent targets, especially during weekends and holiday periods.
In fact, recent studies have found that more than half of cyber-attacks in Germany today are directed against SMEs. The effects can be devastating, with the average business taking 21 days to fully recover.
Around-the-clock protection
The new Cyber Security Centre will help SMEs of all shapes and sizes to stay safe, by detecting cyber-attacks at an early stage and triggering protective mechanisms to minimise potential damage.
