Measures Taken of a Critical Vulnerability in the Java Library Log4j
With this blog post we would like to inform you about measures we have taken regarding a critical security vulnerability in the Java library Log4j. We have already taken all recommended measures and secured our systems over the weekend in the night of December 11,2021 directly after the vulnerability was published by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). In addition, we adapted our monitoring measures and intrusion detection systems specifically to this security gap in order to detect and prevent potential attacks. In addition, all systems have been examined by security experts to determine their vulnerability. There is no risk for our systems at all.

IT systems can be affected by failures or maintenance. During this time data in the cloud is not accessible. If you use the cloud storage as pure backup, a failure only affects current changes. But if you outsource your data completely in order to save internal capacities, you have no chance to access your data. The "data sovereignty" no longer lies with you, as you are not fully in control of your data. The Hybrid Cloud avoids this shortcoming by linking two different cloud systems with each other
