The Impunix Live webinar on "Information security - 10 immediate measures for garages" took place on 3 July 2024. In this webinar, Felix Wyss, President of Carrosserie Schweiz & CEO/VRP of Aarauer Carrosserie Werke, gave an impressive account of his experiences with a hacker attack in which data was encrypted and a ransom was demanded. In particular, he emphasised how important it is to take care of your own cyber security. Micha Strässler and Leo Krähenbühl also presented 10 immediate measures to increase cyber security.

Central topics and learning content:

  • Cybersecurity is a top priority:

Just because you have a clean outsourcing contract with an IT service provider doesn't mean you should sit back and relax. Cyber security is a matter for the boss and must be managed independently.

  • Prevention:

It is worth investing in prevention in order to be well prepared in the event of an incident.

  • Emergency plan:

An emergency plan on paper with documentation and access points increases your own ability to act and reduces the recovery time.
Backup and recovery: The backup and, above all, the regularly tested recovery of data is the life insurance of an SME.

  • Cyber insurance:

The financial damage is only part of the burden of a hacker attack, and cyber insurance can cover this part, but this alone is not enough.
Sensitisation and

  • Training:

Most attacks start with a phishing e-mail. It is therefore important to regularly sensitise employees to IT security, for example with a phishing simulation in which employees' reactions can be tested in a secure environment.

  • Regular updates:

Attackers look for easy targets, leave no unnecessary doors open and regularly update the systems.

On 5 June 2024, Impunix held a live webinar on the topic of "Identifying legal pitfalls with dealer & retailer websites". In this session, our experienced speakers, lawyer Dr Marc Schwenninger and lawyer Volker Dohr, shed light on key legal aspects that operators of brand and dealer websites should consider.
