IT Expert Berlin | IT Specialist Berlin – Kurtz IT Service

Data Security and Privacy Through IT Specialists

In the course of increasing globalisation and the ever stronger establishment and networking of IT structures, the possibilities for the legal acquisition and forwarding of external and internal information are steadily increasing. This phenomenon is called CI, Competitive Intelligence. However, these legal methods are contrasted by the illegal acquisition of data and secrets – corporate espionage via IT structures.

As the economic and cultural centre of the FRG, Berlin is the largest market for IT forensic experts and IT service providers in general. The IT security consultants and IT forensic experts of the Kurtz Detective Agency are your experts for information technology in Berlin: +49 30 555 786 41-2. 

Internet Crime as a Threat to Berlin Businesses

In recent years (as of 2017), the German capital has once again been developing economically better than before (if one disregards the embarrassing construction of BER Airport): a construction boom, a tourist stronghold, many large nationally and internationally active companies, as well as countless medium-sized and smaller businesses and start-ups. The economic potential is enormous; however, this also calls criminal energy onto the scene. Particularly “popular” are digital attacks on companies – attacks that are countered by our Berlin IT security experts. Phishing of passwords, attacks on internal networks and the espionage of sensitive corporate data do not necessarily affect only large companies and market leaders.

 

Especially in Berlin as THE German city of start-up companies, young firms are endangered by internet crime, after all most of these newly founded companies are characterised by an exceptional business idea and internet-based work, many even operate entirely in the digital world. And further development is foreseeable: from 2012 to 2016 alone, the number of Berlin start-ups increased by almost 170 per cent (from 270 to 620). While in the case of large corporations it is primarily reach and financial strength that are attractive, in the case of still unknown small businesses it is the innovations that keep them on the market and therefore attract competitors and industrial spies. IT security should therefore be at the very top of the priority list for every company.

Police Clearance Rates as Low as Never Before: IT Service from Berlin as a Lifeline for Victims

As the Berlin PKS (Police Crime Statistics) for the year 2015 states, not only direct attacks and hacks endanger the IT departments of many companies, because goods and trade credit fraud accounted for 51.2 per cent of all 24,171 cases of internet crime. With an increase of 2,999 cases compared with the previous year (14.2 per cent), the total number of cases was the highest in the last ten years. That this enormous increase would necessarily have to be countered at the political level with better ways of police investigation and apprehension of the perpetrators is shown by the alarmingly low clearance rate of only 42.7 per cent – the lowest value since recording began in 2006 and an impressive illustration of the need for independent IT experts in Berlin.

 

Interestingly, according to a survey by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) and the Brandenburg Institute for Society and Security (BIGS), Berlin residents fear damage from internet crime more than, for example, residents of the Ruhr area (DIW), despite an almost identical crime burden. According to calculations of this study, private individuals in Germany suffer damages of around 3.4 billion euros per year! One can roughly imagine how much higher these figures are for companies and entrepreneurs. Securing computers and other computer-based devices such as smartphones, tablets, control units and even vehicle navigation devices is therefore indispensable – both for private individuals and for companies that wish to protect their data and patents.

Better Safe Than Sorry – IT Forensic Experts from Berlin Advise and Investigate Digitally and Analogue

Although, as mentioned, private individuals should also not underestimate the risk of cybercrime, according to the experience of our IT forensic experts in Berlin it is particularly the business world that sees itself threatened by these specific internet-based forms of crime. Prudence on the internet helps, but it is also no guarantee of an undamaged company network. When commissioned, our Berlin IT Service ensures that security vulnerabilities and data leaks are uncovered and closed as quickly as possible in order to prevent attacks. However, even after damage has already been caused by IT crime and espionage, our IT specialists can be deployed to examine the electronic data and fingerprints left behind by attacks. In this way, those responsible can be identified as quickly as possible in order to prevent further damage to the commissioning company and bring the perpetrators to justice with court-admissible evidence.

If you or your company feel threatened by internet crime or have already become the victim of an attack, please contact our IT specialists for Berlin free of charge at the following telephone number: +49 30 555 786 41-2.
