With the annually held CeBIT trade fair as part of Hannover Messe, our Lower Saxony state capital is among the centres of national and international electronic developments. However, alongside this positive development, cybercrime has also recorded rising offence figures, most recently (2014) more than 6,000 cases in Hanover alone. Security measures, particularly in the field of IT security, are essential for protecting internal company information.
The IT specialists of Kurtz Investigations Hanover provide you with active support and expert advice: +49 511 2028 0016.
Most of the major key industries in the Hanover region are so-called future sectors, typically characterised by a high potential for innovation, namely the automotive industry (around 30,000 employees), the healthcare sector (approximately 65,000 employees), information and communication technology, the energy industry, and the creative industries. Consequently, there is an increased need in and around Hanover for preventative measures against economic and industrial espionage.
In times of increasing digitalisation of personal and internal company data, IT security is rapidly gaining importance. Virus scanners alone provide only basic protection, especially since the majority of providers cooperate with authorities in their respective countries and thereby compromise data protection measures. The Cold War is not over; it has merely changed its appearance, as the Cold Cyber War represents a constant threat to public security in the 21st century.
The academically trained specialists of Kurtz Detective Agency Hanover examine and optimise the security of your system in accordance with the requirements and sensitivity of your data protection needs – and, of course, taking your wishes into account.
If you have become the victim of an IT attack, our forensic experts will conduct a criminal investigation within your system. Success cannot always be guaranteed, as results depend on the professionalism of the attacker. However, cases in which a hacker has made no detectable error are rather rare.
Naturally, Kurtz Investigations Hanover is equally at your disposal if you have lost data from your system due to an accident. Whatever can be recovered, we will recover.
