Security Incidents
In case of a security incident, please pay attention to the IT-Security Incident Handling Procedure.
For infected systems administrators can find additional information on Handling for Infected Computers.
Virus security
You need to have a running virus scanner with an up to date signature file to protect your Windows-PC against virus or worm attacks.
On current Windows systems, the so-called Windows Defender is already available as basic protection. This is usually sufficient as a basic protection against viruses on external systems, the installation of an additional virus scanner on home workstations is therefore not absolutely necessary, but we recommend it..
Responsible Groups
The it-security is based on three groups.
- D4 as the staff position with a mandate
develops policies and enforce them - Computer Security Council consists of members of the largest groups
develops policies in agreement with all groups - IT security experts as the technical instance
develops security solutions and investigate in incidents
