IT security – protection against cyber attacks

A holistic approach to your IT security – building a secure future for your company

Why is a holistic approach to your IT security essential?

Traditional IT security concepts often focus on individual components – such as firewalls, antivirus software, or encryption tools – while neglecting the interaction of these elements within a company's entire IT ecosystem. A holistic approach, on the other hand, considers every layer of your IT infrastructure and ensures that all components work together seamlessly to provide reliable protection against potential threats.

A comprehensive security concept includes:

• Infrastructure security: Securing the fundamental IT environment, including servers, networks, and cloud systems.
• Secure application design: Developing applications with security as a fundamental principle—to avoid vulnerabilities and protect data integrity.
• Data security: Protecting sensitive information at rest and in transit through encryption, access controls, and secure database configurations.
• Monitoring & incident response: Continuous monitoring of your systems for threats and a clear plan for rapid and effective response to security incidents.
• User awareness & training: Educating employees about cybersecurity best practices to minimize the risk of human error – one of the most common causes of security incidents.

Taking a holistic view of these areas results in a resilient security concept that adapts flexibly to new threats and supports long-term business success.

Our expertise in IT security

At Sphinx, we specialize in secure infrastructure solutions, database security management, and data warehousing services.

Our expertise enables companies to create a stable foundation for their security strategy:

1. Secure infrastructure
We develop and implement robust IT infrastructures that prioritize security. From local servers to cloud solutions, our systems are configured to withstand attacks while ensuring performance and availability.

2. Database security configuration management
Databases often contain a company's most sensitive information and are therefore particularly vulnerable. Our team ensures comprehensive protection with best practices in access control, encryption, and regular audits. We also use automated tools to continuously monitor and optimize security configurations.

3. Data warehousing
In addition to securing static data, we offer secure data warehouse solutions that enable protected analysis and use of your information. Our systems protect against unauthorized access and ensure efficient data processing and reporting.

NIS2 – greater security, better SME rating

The EU's NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive) places increasing demands on companies – especially critical and important institutions – in terms of IT security. Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also required to implement significantly stricter measures for cyber defense and risk minimization.

But how can this be achieved efficiently and sustainably? The answer: with an improved and holistic IT security concept.

The NIS2 Directive requires more than just individual technical measures. It calls for structured, integrated security management – at the technical, organizational, and personnel levels. This is exactly where our holistic IT security concept comes in: a professional, proven IT security concept not only affects your NIS2 compliance – it also improves your cybersecurity rating, which is relevant for insurance companies, business partners, and regulatory authorities, for example: more trust, less risk, better market position.

Even if your company is not yet subject to the NIS2 regulation, a holistically thought-out security approach is worthwhile: cyberattacks are increasingly targeting SMEs and smaller businesses – often deliberately, because they often lack effective protection mechanisms.

We support you in developing and implementing a security concept tailored to your needs – practical, scalable, and NIS2-compliant. Whether analysis, implementation, or employee training: we provide comprehensive support on your path to greater security and compliance.

The role of monitoring – threat intelligence reporting

A strong infrastructure and secure applications are important building blocks, but they are not enough on their own. Companies must also invest in continuous monitoring in order to identify potential threats at an early stage and minimize the associated risks.

Using advanced tools such as SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) systems, we monitor your IT environment in real time for suspicious activity. In the event of an incident, we have the necessary expertise and resources to respond quickly and effectively and limit the damage to you.

Contact us now – we will analyze your current security situation and develop a customized monitoring concept for you!

User awareness/training

Human error remains a major factor in security breaches. Even the best security infrastructure can be compromised by human error. Regular training strengthens your “human firewall” – a crucial component of your cybersecurity and also for a good rating.

That's why we place great importance on training your employees—for example, in recognizing phishing attempts, handling sensitive data, or avoiding risky behavior that could jeopardize your company.

Contact us now to learn more about the potential risks and corresponding training options!

Customized prevention models – data-driven and tailored to your company

We help you not only identify security risks through monitoring, but also actively prevent them – including through data-driven models.

By setting up a customized data mart, we work with you to collect and analyze security-related data from your IT landscape. Based on this, we develop a customized prevention model that fits your structures, processes, and threat scenarios perfectly—for greater transparency, higher resilience, and targeted protection against cyberattacks.
