At the end of September, a serious cyberattack paralyzed the Asahi Group<\/strong> Japanese factories. Japan's largest beer producer - which owns world-renowned brands such as Peroni, Pilsner Urquell and Grolsch<\/strong> \u2013 was forced to completely stop production<\/strong>and suspend the order processing, shipping and customer service activities<\/strong>Although the international supply chain fortunately remained undisrupted, the loss of the domestic market was a serious economic and reputational damage<\/strong> reported to the company.<\/p>\n

Not a unique case \u2013 instructive examples from other companies<\/h2>\n

Although the full extent of the damage is unknown, experts say the personal data of millions of customers may have been affected. After the attack, Pandora temporarily shut down some of its online systems and initiated emergency recovery processes. The incident also resulted in a serious reputational crisis, as customer trust is of paramount importance to a luxury brand.<\/p>\n

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the authorities are working together to restore systems. Unions fear that without government help, mass layoffs could follow.<\/p>\n

Why is all this happening?<\/h3>\n

Cybercriminals have many motivations: making money, pursuing political or ideological goals, or simply destabilizing critical infrastructure. However, there is one thing in common: they are looking for the weak link in the defense<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What can companies do?<\/h2>\n

The days of outdated antiviruses and firewalls are over. Against today's cyberattacks, only proactive, multi-layered protection<\/strong>, 24\/7 security monitoring<\/strong> and rapid incident management<\/strong> means real security.<\/p>\n
