IT-Security - Individual measures

The institut has commissioned an external service provider in order to be able to take immediate countermeasures in the event of a cyber-attack [log-in required] .

Centralized backup / archiving services are provided for all members of staff and guests in order to guarantee the continuous availability of important data sets. The service is currently based on the IBM Spectrum Protect Software(previously known as Tivoli Storage Manager or TSM). The hardware is based on a 3500 IBM tape library which can contain up to 3.900 tapes. Tapes are the ideal medium for offline protection against any loss of data in the institute.
