Giegerich & Partner Gets Involved in the Safer Internet Day Campaign by Providing Tips and Tricks for Internet Safety

On the occasion of the European Commission's annual "Safer Internet Day" on 11th February, the IT solution provider Giegerich & Partner is getting involved in the campaign by working to provide school pupils with a safer experience when using the Internet. Hans-Joachim Giegerich, a security expert and the CEO of Giegerich & Partner, and Christian Schülke from schuelke.net will therefore be giving a presentation on prevention as part of a special campaign day to be held at the "Geschwister-Scholl-Schule" school in the town of Brakel in the German Land of North Rhine-Westphalia. The aim of the presentation is to improve the media literacy of the pupils at the school and their educators, parents and guardians.

A "Live Hacking" Demonstration and Protection against Cyber Bullying, Trojans & Co.

Alongside practical tips concerning protection against unwanted snoopers, cyber bullying, mobile Trojans, drive-by downloads, wireless Internet traps, phishing mails and the risks involved in social networks, the experts will also use a "live hacking" demonstration to show how easy it is for scammers to 'break into' almost any smartphone or PC if adeqate safety precautions have not been taken.

A Special Offer for More Safety on Safer Internet Day

Users who place particular value on protecting their personal data can also achieve additional security for e-mails with the help of encryption. As a small incentive on the occasion of "Safer Internet Day", Giegerich & Partner is offering its e-mail encryption software, gpg4o, at a special price of just €9.99 until 14th February.
