Survey: Trends in securing databases in Swiss SMEs
Monika Stucki, a student at HTW Chur, is currently working on her master's thesis on "Trends in database security in Swiss SMEs". The basis for this will be a survey of Swiss SMEs. Take part - filling out the questionnaire only takes about 5 minutes.
In addition to opportunities, advancing digitization also brings risks and poses major challenges for Swiss SMEs. Data, an important asset for many companies, is particularly affected. This is also evidenced by the incidents of data leaks recorded in recent months. But where do we have to start in order to protect data? In the context of a master's thesis, we are investigating the extent to which Swiss SMEs deal with the specific protection of databases. Of particular interest is whether Swiss SMEs are aware of the dangers to databases and whether they have the necessary knowledge for specific protection.
The survey is aimed at IT and database managers in Swiss SMEs and aims to identify trends in securing databases. The survey is completely anonymized and will be adapted to the new DSGVO. Furthermore, after evaluation of the survey and completion of the master thesis, the results will be made available as a summary on a website created for this purpose.
So take part and support application-oriented research. Here is the link to the survey: https://survey.infoscience.ch/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=984664&lang=de
