The number of cyber-attacks on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is constantly increasing. SMEs do not recognize the attacks until the damage has occurred. Only then, they fight with measures to increase IT-security and IT-safety. Many studies come to the point that this refers to a lack of budget, expertise and awareness of the need for IT-security. There are many compendia with recommendations for action, but they are too comprehensive and unspecific to the individual needs of SMEs. In this paper, we present the results of a research activity on the gaps that address the challenges faced by SMEs. In addition, we develop a concept for a serious gaming approach that includes an economic perspective on IT-security measures and shows how SMEs can derive their own IT-seurity target state
Die Umsetzung von Industrie 4.0, also der umfassenden Digitalisierung und Vernetzung der Produktion, stellt Unternehmen noch immer vor Herausforderungen. In dieser Marktstudie wurde eine bei produzierenden Unternehmen identifizierte Hürde, die IT-Komplexität und deren Management, stärker beleuchtet. Unternehmen, die sich besser aufgestellt sehen, legen in der Regel einen stärkeren Fokus auf verschiedene Aktivitäten.
The aim of the related research project eCloud is to enable small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to implement flexible energy management without in-depth energy knowledge and with little distraction from day-to-day business, which is prepared for current and future challenges in the field of energy use. The overall result is a validated prototype for a plug and automate capable (i.e. without implementation effort) operational energy management, which can be successively set up in SMEs based on a cloud platform. Through its gradual and modular implementation, energy management meets the individual needs of each company and contributes to energy system transformation and climate protection by reducing energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions by up to 25%. In total, three expansion stages are available with the levels of monitoring, load management and grid usage, which consist of various Software as a Service (SaaS) modules from the cloud that can be retrieved as required. Thus, the user only needs a minimal hardware intervention in his production and saves a complex IT infrastructure. The methodology developed has been successfully applied by two user companies so far. This proves the effectiveness of the method.
