Since the summer of 2008 there are offline devices for the access system. This devices can be operated with each FHGR-Card.

The system includes the following components:

1. Cylinder lock
2. FHGR-Card
3. Update-Terminal / Validating devices

Offline-System

The system works without a physical connection between the cylinder lock and the access system.

Each FHGR-Card contains two data records for the access:

1. Rights
2. Timestamp

All the rights for a FHGR-Card are stored on the card. For a change of these rights it is necessary to update the card on an update terminal.

For security reasons the rights are only valid for a limited timeperiod which is stored on the timestamp. Actually this timeperiod is set to 7 days. After this period the rights are useless and the card shoud be updatet on a terminal. The timestamp can be updated at an update terminal or at a special configured online reader.

The FH Graubünden has implemented an access system, which works with the FHGR-Cards.

Online-Systems

The online devices are connected to the system and query the access permition in realtime. An access which is connected to the system has to be connected to the network and to the current. Entrees to the offices as well as to leased rooms are equipped with offline systems.

Following doors are connected to the online access system:

- All main entrances (incl. entrances Zurich)

- Car park entrance, Pulvermühlestrasse 57

- Elevators, Pulvermühlestrasse 57

The notebook-shelves for the students are online too.

To set up an Exchange account the following settings are required:

1. Open settings/accounts and backup/manage accounts and select "Add account".
2. Select "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync"
3. Fill in your emailaddress and your password, select "manual setup" and fill in the information like on the picture below.
   The user name and the password can be taken from the FHGR account sheet.
   Important: At "Use secure connection (SSL)" must be a green hook.
4. Select "safe" - finish.

To get access to the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons VPN with your Andorid smartphone, you have to do the following steps:

1. Download the App "Pulse Secure" from the Play store (new App "Ivanti Secure Access Client")
2. Start the App
3. Add a new connection with the URL vpn.fhgr.ch and the user name from the FH Graubünden. Sace the connection.

The booklet printing on the multifunction printers (MFP) of the FH Graubünden is limited to 100g/m2 paper. The bypass can not be used for booklet printing.
According to the device specifications thicker (top-) leaves aren't possible.
Printing of brochures has to be printed on a Ricoh IMC 6000 device because the printer driver at the FH Graubünden has been designed for that type.

On Ricoh IMC 4500 the brochure will be folded the wrong way.

All students at the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons have the opportunity, to purchase the Adobe Creative Cloud Pro (as an app including Adobe Stock) from Adobe. The license is valid for one semester (September 1^st to February 28^th, respectively March 1^st to august 31^st). The price and expiration date of the license remain the same. This means, that if a license is ordered in January, it will still expire at the end of the semester (in this case on February 28^th). For this reason, we recommend placing the order at the beginning of a semester. The license can be renewed every semester.

The current price is CHF 59 per semester/license period.

Further instructions, the link to the shop and the FAQ from Switch can be found below.

S for Backup:

Data loss is painful and can affect anyone. Whether it's due to a technical defect on the device, a physical impact (device falls into water, for example) or a cyber attack. To counteract data loss, external storage media such as local data storage or cloud solutions help. The data is stored sustainably and independently of the main device and is available for immediate backup.

Tip:

• Back up your data regularly on at least a second external medium, which is stored separately from the main device.

U as in update:

Without an update, vulnerabilities in your programs or operating system, for example, can be exploited. As a result, attackers can penetrate the system and install malware or steal personal data, for example. Such attacks are unpleasant, as our privacy is violated and we are faced with a partial or complete loss of control.

Tip:

• Regularly update your system, programs and apps to the latest version. If available, it is best to use the automatic update function for this. Run recommended updates immediately.

P for Check:

Both a lack of virus protection and an inactive firewall provide a gateway for malware. A firewall prevents unauthorized access to a network and checks incoming and outgoing traffic against a set of rules to detect and block threats. Antivirus protects your device by regularly scanning the computer for malware and, if a threat is detected, removing or quarantining the malicious file.

Tip:

• Check your device to make sure an antivirus program and firewall are installed and continually updated.

E for logging in:

Passwords are tedious but important to protect one's data. Therefore, you should not only have a strong password, but ideally a different one for each platform / account. However, remembering all passwords is quite difficult. A password manager will make your life easier: Remember a secure master password and store the other passwords in the password manager. Some of these password managers even generate secure passwords for you.

Tip:

• Install and use a password manager. Whenever possible, activate the so-called two-factor authentication. Here, for example, an access PIN is sent to a previously registered mobile phone number, which is required for logging in.

R for Reduce:

Not everything you encounter in the digital space is reality. Cybercriminals influence our perception by disguising their identity and intent in order to obtain personal data or money. For example, they send fake emails in the name of law enforcement or promise large inheritances. This method of attack is called social engineering.

Tip:

• Reduce the risk of fraud in the digital space with a healthy dose of mistrust and don't click on every link without thinking.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism used to ensure that only authorized users can access a system, application, or data.
It requires the entry of at least two independent authentication factors to verify the user's identity.

The authentication factors can be:

• Something the user knows (e.g., a password, PIN, or secret question).
• Something the user has (e.g., a smart card, token, or cell phone).
• Something the user is (e.g., biometrics such as fingerprints or facial recognition).

When MFA is used, the user must provide at least two of the above factors at enrollment to gain access to the system or application. This increases security because it is more difficult for an attacker to steal or reproduce both factors than just one.

Note: Even an MFA does not protect 100% against a hacker attack, see also this article from the National Center for Cybersecurity NCSC on Real-Time Phishing.

Recommendations:

• Never provide a password or credit card number on a page you received through a link in a message, it is most likely a phishing attempt;
• Carefully check the web page where you have to enter your login details. An existing two-factor authentication does not protect against real-time phishing.

Social hacking refers to the process by which an attacker attempts to exploit human weaknesses and social engineering skills to gain access to confidential information, systems, or networks.

In general, social hacking aims to exploit people's trust and good faith to get them to perform certain actions or reveal confidential information. This can be done through various methods such as phishing emails, phone calls or fake social media accounts to trick victims into revealing personal data, passwords or other confidential information.

Social hacking is a significant security risk and can cause businesses and individuals to suffer great financial loss if confidential data is stolen or compromised. It is important for people to be aware and remain vigilant to protect themselves from social hacking attacks.

The digital extortion business is booming. Ransomware – a combination of “ransom” and “malware” (malicious software) – is flourishing. Hardly a day goes by without a ransomware incident reported in the news. These reports mention companies, hospitals, organisations – but what about the private sphere? Are private individuals affected by ransomware too?

When ransomware infects a computer or network, it blocks access to the system (locker ransomware) or encrypts its data (crypto-ransomware). Cybercriminals then demand a ransom from their victims for unlocking the data. The amount usually has to be paid in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, with correspondence usually carried out over the Darknet.

“The new generation” of ransomware players has no interest in discounts or lengthy negotiations. So when they encrypt the data they provide a deadline for ransom payment. If the ransom demand is not met, confidential data is published directly or destroyed.

How does ransomware work?

You can receive malware via an attachment in an email, a file download or on a falsified website purporting to be from a serious provider.

Once the malware is on your device, you no longer have access or a way of decrypting the data yourself. In some cases, your screen will suddenly go black and your device will no longer respond to mouse or keyboard inputs. A menacing text from the perpetrators then appears, threatening the deletion or disclosure of all data on the computer. The text usually contains the following features:

• A countdown, loading bar or date shows you how much time you apparently have left. This is intended to emphasise the sense of urgency and put you under pressure.

• You are prompted to purchase Bitcoins and transfer them to a specified account.

• Usually the only course of action left to you is to access a marketplace for cryptocurrencies where you can acquire the ransom money and send it to the perpetrators online. They opt for this payment method as transactions are easy to cover up and thus more difficult for criminal prosecution authorities to trace.

How to protect yourself against ransomware

To avoid having to remove ransomware from your computer in the first place, you should treat unknown files with care.

• Create a backup of your data on a regular basis. The backup should be stored offline, on an external medium such as an external hard drive. Make sure to separate the medium on which you are creating the backup from the computer after the backup process. Otherwise, the data on the backup medium may also be encrypted and unusable during a ransomware attack. You can find out how here.
• Exercise caution when handling emails. You can find tips on how to do this here.
• Never connect USB sticks from unknown sources to your devices. Perpetrators sometimes leave loaded USB sticks and even USB charging cables (known as OMG cables) around to lure the “lucky” finder into a trap. Find here more information.
• Keep your programs and operating system up to date. Updating programs and operating systems regularly helps to protect you against malware.
• Only use known download sources. Never download software or media files from unknown websites. You should also take care when downloading to your mobile device. Trust the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, depending on which operating system you are using.

In the event of a ransomware attack, disconnect your computer from the internet and all attached storage media immediately to prevent further damage. In most malware cases, it is also a good idea to format the hard drive, set up the computer entirely from scratch and install the backup.

Cyber myth: If a telephone call displays a Swiss number, the call also comes from Switzerland and is certainly trustworthy.

In unregulated telephone networks (unlike in Switzerland, where telephone providers are regulated by OFCOM), a subscriber can transmit any sender number using an appropriate program.
This method can be used to make arbitrary calls, for example, even to the Swiss fixed network.
The number defined by the attacker is not checked by the telephone providers, but is passed on one-to-one and shown on the display.
The use of fake Swiss telephone numbers is also a common practice.
This does not mean that the call really comes from Switzerland.
In addition, there are also call centers that have a Swiss number but operate from abroad.

Thus applies:

• Do not trust the displayed phone number;
• Be especially skeptical if you are called by an unknown person, even if they pretend to be employees of well-known companies, such as Microsoft;
• Be skeptical if someone on the phone asks you to do something. For example, transferring money, giving credit card details and passwords, or accessing your computer.

Cyber myth: I can trust every e-mail sender I know!

If the sender's address displayed on an e-mail is known, you can by no means assume that the e-mail actually came from this person. Sender e-mail addresses can be forged at will.

Many cyber attacks today are carried out by e-mails whose sender address is forged.
Firstly, to create trust, and secondly, to tempt the recipient into an ill-considered action.
For example, phishing emails usually use banks as senders.
However, the identities of other well-known companies are also used to trick victims.
A popular scam is also that e-mails supposedly come from acquaintances, work colleagues or the boss.

Faking an e-mail address is very easy. Just as in the analog world with a letter, any sender address can be entered in an e-mail.

The sender e-mail address can therefore never be used as a verification element. E-mail senders can only be verified by using digital certificates. However, these have not yet become widely accepted and their use is difficult for most Internet users.

Thus the following applies:

• Be wary of e-mails with a known sender if a communication that has already been made is suddenly used incoherently.
• Use another means of communication, e.g., by telephone, to briefly ask the person whether the e-mail actually originated from him or her.
• Also be careful if money is suddenly demanded or a transfer is urged. A typical characteristic of fraudulent e-mails is that the requested action is to be carried out urgently.
• You should be extremely cautious if an e-mail asks you to click on a link or open a document. Never click on links or open documents if you do not know the sender. With known senders, it is better to ask too many questions than too few.

Cybermyth: If I click on a link, it really goes to the specified web page.

Attackers exploit the possibility of placing an arbitrary link behind any text by displaying a trusted link in the foreground, but this link leads to a malicious website or file in the background. By the way, this also applies to displayed email addresses. To check where a link actually leads to, you can move the mouse over the link (without clicking!). This will display the actual link in the bottom left corner of the screen's status bar in each case.

Thus applies:

•     Links are faked especially in e-mails. Special caution is required here;
•     Be careful when you are urged to click on a link. It is better to click on a link once too little than too much;
•     Check links before you click on them. If you have clicked on a link, you can always check in the address bar which page you are on. If you accidentally land on the wrong page, close the browser immediately.

Email remains the most popular gateway for malware and fraud attempts. Attackers try to deceive victims into doing something they do not want to do. The scenario chosen for this purpose is intended to affect the potential victim emotionally or trigger their interest to click on a link, open a document, provide credit card details or passwords, or make a payment. Handling emails carefully contributes significantly to the security of your data and your computer.

The following measures protect against malware, phishing and various types of fraud:

Beware of emails that require action on your part

Be careful if you are urged to perform an action. This may involve clicking on a link or opening an attachment. Never enter personal data in a form that you have opened via a link in an email.

Do not be caught off guard

Fraudsters are constantly devising new scenarios to encourage victims to react rashly. This method is known as social engineering. Social engineering is intended to ensure that the victims carry out the actions controlled by the perpetrators without being aware of it. Do not let yourself be taken off guard, think about the situation calmly and, if in doubt, ask friends, work colleagues or the NCSC how to assess the matter.

Beware of emails from unknown senders

Be suspicious of emails sent from an address you do not know. In such cases, do not open any attached documents or programs and do not follow any links provided in them.

Malicious emails can also come from known senders

Emails from a known sender can also be dangerous as some malware spreads by sending itself via email to recipients listed in a victim's address book. Be careful, for example, if previous messages are suddenly used out of context.

Caution with Office documents

Malware is often distributed through Office documents. In most cases the macro function is exploited. Never give permission to activate the macro function.

Email client software update

Email clients can also have security vulnerabilities. Check regularly whether there are any software updates for your email client and install them.

Mobile phones have become our permanent companions. These small, compact devices also contain more and more personal data, such as photos, contacts, emails and text messages. Therefore, the loss or theft of data can quickly result in serious consequences. In general, the same security rules apply as for a PC or notebook, except that a mobile phone's size makes it is easier to steal or lose. The NCSC has compiled nine practical tips to make your mobile phone more secure. The focus is on public WLAN use:

1. Always lock your phone
2. Use public WiFi networks securely
3. Use an official app store
4. Install antivirus software
5. Install updates
6. Save your data regularly
7. Activate encryption on your device
8. Activate "Find My…" and have access to remote wipe
9. Use caution with public charging stations

1. Always lock your phone

People have their mobile devices with them whenever and wherever they go. But sometimes these devices are left behind and forgotten somewhere, e.g. during a lunch break, at the gym or on a train.

In such cases, it is important that strangers be prevented from accessing the contents of the device. Losing information such as professional and personal emails, photos and phone numbers could be detrimental not only to you, but also to others if it ends up in the wrong hands.

Depending on the make and model of the device you use, the following methods are available:

• Digital fingerprint
• Face ID
• Iris recognition
• Password or PIN code

Be sure to enable such authentication methods. Make sure that your mobile phone locks itself as quickly as possible (30 seconds) after inactivity. Choose a sufficiently long and unique PIN code. Do not choose simple number sequences such as 123456 or 234567, nor numbers with a personal connection (e.g. date of birth, postcode, car registration number, etc.).

2. Use public WiFi networks securely

Public WiFi internet access points (hotspots) can be found at railway stations, airports, hotels, near public areas and places, and in bars and restaurants. The name of the WiFi network (SSID; service set identifier) usually ends in *_free, *_open or *_guest.

One of the biggest risks when using hotspots is directly related to how they work. Everyone can choose any name they want for their WiFi network. Imagine, for example, that you are in an airport terminal waiting to board your flight. You go in search of a WiFi network that the airport operator has made available so that passengers can access the internet.

You open the list of available WiFi networks and soon find a network called "WLAN_airport_free". 

It seems to be one of the public WiFi hotspots provided by the airport for transit passengers.

When you log on to this official hotspot, there are security mechanisms that allow individual users to be protected from each other so that the network traffic cannot be intercepted (sniffed) by third parties. However, no one can guarantee that any of these mechanisms are active. If this is not the case, cybercriminals can read all the data you access via the internet, provided it is on the same network and the data is not encrypted, even passwords. In any event, fraudsters can see which websites you are visiting at any given time.

The name "WLAN_airport_free" that appears is not necessarily the airport's official hotspot. It could also be a network that is only pretending to be provided by the airport operator. For example, fraudsters can use a smartphone to generate a WiFi hotspot with exactly the same name as the airport's official hotspot. Generally, devices connect to the WiFi network with the highest signal strength first. Since the fraudster is only a few metres away from you and offers the strongest signal, your device will connect to the fraudster's network.

In addition, there are also WiFi services for which a fee is charged. This type of service is mostly offered in touristic city centres, where demand is the highest. A payment, usually by credit card, must be made when logging on to such a network. Fraudsters exploit this situation by again providing a bogus WiFi hotspot with the same or similar name and requesting credit card details when a victim connects.

Recommendations

There is always a certain risk when you connect to a third-party WiFi network, as you can never be 100% sure who is behind it. The risk starts as soon as the connection to the WiFi network is established. An attacker can make your device download malware already at this point, giving them access to all of your phone's data.

Another risk is that the person who set up the fraudulent WiFi network can read all the information you leave behind when you surf the internet. It is therefore important that your connection to any websites you visit be encrypted. When connecting via a public WiFi hotspot, never enter login credentials on websites that are not encrypted. Look for "https" in the URL or the padlock symbol in the address bar. You should generally refrain from using sensitive services such as e-banking and reading emails at public hotspots.

If in doubt, use your mobile phone network for data communication; when abroad, use the roaming function.

It is advisable to use a VPN service. In this way, all communication is "hidden" and an attacker has no chance of reading the navigation history or data. A VPN connection is absolutely essential for business use (e.g. business emails).

Deactivate WiFi and Bluetooth when you do not need these services. This helps to avoid attack methods that cybercriminals use to penetrate your device undetected. It also reduces battery consumption.

3. Use an official app store

One of the most important attack vectors on mobile devices is the installation of malicious apps. On average, 200 million apps are installed on mobile devices every day, ranging from e-banking apps to shopping list managers. Not all apps are equally secure, however, and this applies especially to the source from which they are obtained and installed.

Aside from the app stores that are preinstalled on mobile phones by phone manufacturers (e.g. Google Play, Apple's App Store), other stores that offer apps also exist. These are called alternative or third-party app stores. While the official app store providers carry out in-depth checks on the apps, this is not the case with some alternative stores, or only to a limited extent. The NCSC therefore recommends downloading apps only from the official app stores. Only use alternative app stores if you are aware of the possible security problems and you trust the sources implicitly.

Read the reviews from other users and the app's general terms of use.

Another risk when installing apps is hidden in the access rights they ask you to grant. Avoid apps that require too many access rights. Only allow an app the rights it needs for its actual purpose.

• A weather app does not need access to telephone contacts.
• A shopping list app does not need access to photos.

4. Install antivirus software

Just like viruses that attack your PC, there are also viruses that target mobile phones. Therefore, you should set up antivirus software on your mobile device too. 

5. Install updates

The updates published by manufacturers and developers not only offer new functions, they also help to resolve vulnerabilities and prevent programming errors. It is therefore important to always keep your device and all apps installed on it up to date.

6. Save your data regularly

The NCSC recommends that you regularly save the data on your device, be it via a cloud service or syncing to your PC or directly to an external storage device.

An accident, loss or theft can happen quickly!

7. Activate encryption on your device

In the event of loss or theft, encryption ensures that the confidential data on your device cannot be accessed by unauthorised third parties. Nowadays, encryption is automatically enabled on many devices, provided the mobile phone is protected by a PIN, Touch ID or Face ID. However, it is worth checking whether encryption is enabled, especially with older devices.   

8. Activate "Find My…" and have access to remote wipe

Leaving your mobile phone somewhere can happen before you know it. To counter this problem, many phone brands offer a remote device location tracking service.

• On Android, the service is called "Find My Device" and can be downloaded directly from the official Play Store.
  More information on how to activate it and how it works can be found in the Google Account Help.
• On Apple, the app is called "Find My" and is installed as standard on each Apple device. However, it must be manually activated. More information on how to activate it and how it works can be found in the iCloud User Guide.
• On Samsung, the function is called "Find My Mobile". It is likewise installed as standard on devices and also requires manual activation to work. More information on how to activate it and how it works can be found und Find My Phone

Generally, these smartphone location tracking functions require devices to be switched on, connected to a WiFi network or have mobile data activated, and have location sharing enabled.
If this is the case, devices will be able to transmit their exact location and receive instructions such as to wipe themselves, play a ringtone, etc.

In addition, some device models can be configured so that the data they contain is automatically deleted after a certain number of failed password attempts.

9. Use caution with public charging stations

As soon as you connect your device to any USB port to charge it, there is a certain risk that data can be accessed. It is possible that information about the type, brand and model of the device will be read during the charging process. However, it is also possible that malware could be installed.

The best way to protect yourself against this is to use only the power adapter supplied with the device when charging it in public places.

An external battery (power bank) is also a good solution. This means you can charge the external battery at a public station and then charge the mobile phone from this battery. In this way, the phone is never directly connected to the public station.

Many do not know that prepared USB flash drives can also be used to hack computers.

At first glance, such a USB stick looks like a normal, inconspicuous USB flash drive. However, if you connect it to a computer, it is supposedly recognized as a keyboard. Predefined keystrokes are then reeled off, which can trigger certain malicious commands on the computer. Such so-called "rubber duckies" can generate more than 1000 words per minute. For example, backdoors can be installed on the attacked system, documents or passwords can be stolen, or extended rights can be set up on the computer.

Rubber Duckies - not harmless ducklings

When you hear the word "rubber duckies", you first think of children's toys. But in the hacking scene, this name means something completely different: such a bad USB stick is a popular hacking tool.

The name "Rubber Ducking" comes from the history of programming. In one method of finding an error in programming code, a yellow plastic duck is read line by line and the code is explained. As the code is explained, the programmers notice any errors. The rubber duck serves as a listener and has the advantage that no person has to be disturbed by it. With the "Rubber Duckies", commands are also processed line by line. To automate administration tasks, a tool was developed that mimics the typing of commands on a keyboard. Recurring commands are generated and executed line by line by the device.  However, this also gave birth to the idea of a keystroke injection attack, i.e. the infiltration of keyboard commands via a USB stick. This has evolved into a sophisticated hacking tool to this day.

How does the "keystroke injection attack" work?

The USB tool pretends to be a keyboard to the computer and thus has the same user rights as the victim sitting in front of the computer. The tool, the "Rubber Ducky", then stores the keystrokes to be executed, or commands, using the script language "Ducky Script". Once connected to the computer, the stick is recognized as a keyboard and the pre-programmed keystrokes or commands are executed on the computer.

Beware of donated or found USB sticks

But how do you get a victim to insert such a USB stick into their computer? This is done by means of social engineering. In this type of attack, characteristics such as trust, fear, respect for authority or curiosity are cleverly exploited by the attackers. A sub-variant of social engineering is so-called baiting. Here, the attackers rely on the victim's curiosity. The best-known type of baiting is placing USB sticks in the entrance area of a company's premises and speculating that employees will find the stick and immediately insert it into a company device out of curiosity. USB sticks can also be distributed via giveaways. Such sticks are distributed in many variants to visitors at conferences or exhibitions. However, not all of them are distributed with good intentions; among them may be prepared "Rubber Duckies"". But even an unattended notebook, for example on the train or at a conference, can be compromised by an attacker using this method, if he manages to connect the stick to the device unnoticed for a short time.

New tool version is even more sophisticated

In August 2022, a hacking hardware manufacturer released a new version of its tool. Earlier versions could already create fake pop-up windows to grab a user's credentials or make the browser send all stored passwords to an attacker's web server. In the latest version, stolen data can also be saved back to the USB device. This allows an attacker to insert the stick for a few seconds and then remove it again with all the stored data. This also no longer requires an Internet connection to send the data.

Tips:

• Never plug unknown USB devices into the computer.
• Never leave the computer unattended in public places.

Safe, mobile working cannot be achieved by technical precautions alone, but requires the active cooperation of the users. Therefore, it is also important to observe a few safety rules at home or on the road. Below you will find some tips on how to make the mobile workplace more secure through your behavior.

Set up password protection

When you're working at home or on the road - on the train, for example - never leave your devices (laptop or cell phone) unattended. Nevertheless, if your device is lost or stolen, data and systems can be accessed by unauthorized persons.

Tip:

• Make sure that access to your device is always protected with a password, or access code (2-factor authentication if possible).

Ensure privacy

Your devices should always be protected from prying eyes. This applies to your computer, cell phone and home screen.

Tips:

• Don't let other people touch the device used for work;
• Always lock the screen when you leave the workplace;
• Use a screen protector (film or integrated computer function) when traveling.

Caution during telephone conversations

Especially in public places, there are often uninvolved people present who can listen in on conversations and pass on the information.

Tips:

• In general, make sure that your telephone conversations cannot be overheard, whether you are on the road or at home. Therefore, find an undisturbed place to do so.
• Be especially careful with confidential conversations. These should be conducted physically whenever possible. If this is not possible, use encrypted communication channels such as Threema. However, here too, make sure that no uninvolved persons can listen in.

Secure data

Do not mix private and business data. Do not work on business data on your private device or on private data on your business device.

Tips:

• Perform business work on the device the company provides you;
• Do not use private cloud as data storage for business documents;
• Never store business data on private USB sticks or other private data carriers.
• Be sure to follow your company's guidelines regarding data backup.

Confidential data and documents

Special care should be taken when data is confidential information.

Tips:

• Keep confidential information under lock and key;
• Print documents only at the company workstation, if possible;
• Properly destroy data media and documents that are no longer needed. Documents belong in the document shredder. Electronic data remains readable even after deletion with the delete key or the "delete" function (only the information on the storage location is removed). For final destruction, the location of the information must be overwritten several times. Special programs are available for this process - also called wiping.

Use of WLAN

At home:

In almost every home network today you can find wireless networks that allow devices to connect wirelessly to the Internet. Such a network works via a router or a wireless access point (WAP), which emit a radio signal that the devices connect to. The radio signals can also be received outside of one's own four walls. Securing your own WLAN is therefore key to securing your private network.

Tips:

• Change all default passwords on the WLAN router, especially the one for the administrator.
• Choose strong passwords and use 2-factor authentication if possible;
• Secure your home Wi-Fi with a strong password, always use WPA2 or if already available on your device WPA3;
• If possible, restrict administrative access so that it is only possible from your own network and disable remote access. Most devices today also allow you to set up a separate guest network;
• Make sure you connect to the right WLAN;
• Keep all your devices up to date, including printers, routers, webcams, etc. and only use operating systems that are still updated by the manufacturer. This is the only way you will also get regular security updates for your operating systems.

Public WLAN:

When using public WLAN (e.g. in hotels or at train stations), there is a risk that unauthorized third parties can read or even access your data. Therefore, create a hotspot yourself and secure it with a strong password. Setting up your own hotspot on your smartphone is easy. On both iOS and Android devices, you can set up a hotspot under the settings.

Tip:

• Deactivate WLAN as well as Bluetooth if you do not need these services. This avoids attack methods that cybercriminals use to penetrate your device unnoticed. It also reduces battery consumption.

Chargers:

Public buildings such as airports or train stations often offer USB charging stations (including cables). However, these are accessible to all and can be easily tampered with and infect your device with malware.

Tip:

• Use your own charger or powerbank.

Attention roaming

As communicated again and again from the media, caution is required with the use of the mobile phone in a foreign country.

It seems over and over again, that after the holidays a juicy bill flutters into the house. High data connection or Roaming-Fees can leave a very bitter aftertaste.
Synchronising e-mails or many other small services (e.g., Apps) which are usable with the today's modern mobile phones also belongs to the data services. It's the best of all to deactivate the roaming immediately, otherwise it can become very quick very expensive.
