From October 9 to October 12, Compumatica participated the working visit by His Majesty King Willem-Alexander and Her Majesty Queen Maxima to the German federal states Rhinleland-Palatinate and Saarland and joined the trade mission led by Minister Sigrid Kaag and Minister Hugo de Jonge.
A select group of Dutch companies were invited to join this official trade mission. Compumatica was one of the selected companies and participated in the Cybersecurity delegation.
Compumatica even had the opportunity to present its MagiCtwin, an innovative security solution for the Industry 4.0 and Smart Industry, to Minister Kaag, the Chairman of the knowledge institute for Information Security CISPA and a number of delegates from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

By joining forces we are able and can find smart solutions for common technical issues and shared challenges. "Sharing is the new having" is a slogan that characterizes the successful trade mission.

Aufgrund der aktuellen EFail Thematik ist uns das Problem der "unsicher" verschlüsselten E-Mails bekannt. Unserer Meinung nach sollte man aber bedenken, dass eine potentiell unsichere Verschlüsselung immer noch besser ist als keine Verschlüsselung zu verwenden. Wenn es Sicherheitsbedenken gibt, sollten Sie Ihre E-Mail Clients im Unternehmen auf Plain-Mail umstellen, denn diese sind durch die neue Schwachstelle nicht betroffen! Wir empfehlen auch das automatische Nachladen von externen Inhalten in Ihrem E-Mail Client auszuschalten.
Wir empfehlen hier zusätzlich das Signieren Ihrer Emails. Um ein Abschneiden ihrer Signatur zu verhindern, empfehlen wir Ihnen das Opaque-Signaturverfahren zu benutzen. Dabei wird eine E-Mail in Ihrem Client in den meisten Fällen auch nicht angezeigt, wenn die Signatur nicht korrekt geprüft werden kann.
Sobald wir hierzu aufgrund von Technologieänderungen, die nicht in unserem Verantwortungsbereich liegen, diese Sicherheitslücken schließen können, werden wir unsere Kunden entsprechend informieren und dies auf unserer Webseite im Newsbereich kommunizieren!
Fragen beantworten wir Ihnen hierzu gerne.
