Information Technology (IT) is the backbone of our modern society. It connects industrial companies, public institutions, and private individuals, and drives innovation. However, this interconnectedness also increases cyber risk. Information security is essential. TÜV NORD supports the protection of digital infrastructure.

Information Security in Information Technology

In an increasingly digitalised world, information technology (IT) has become an integral part of our everyday lives. Whether in industrial companies, public authorities or private households - information technology ensures efficient processes, communication and data utilisation.

Information security protects against data loss, system failures and unauthorised access - and therefore also against economic damage and loss of trust. IT security is particularly crucial in sensitive areas such as public administration or industrial control systems.

As an independent and experienced testing service provider, TÜV NORD offers customised solutions in the field of cyber security for information technology.
