Do you believe your IT infrastructure is secure?

If only you knew how many attacks are constantly happening...

Many companies believe that their IT is well protected. Firewalls are in place, updates are running, backups are working. But a look at the platform safety speedometer shows that the reality is harsher. Automated and targeted attacks are constantly taking place outside your network. Globally, every minute.

What on safety speedometer.eu can be seen

The site shows in real time how attacks are taking place worldwide. The data comes from a network of honeypots that deliberately simulate vulnerable systems in order to make attacks visible.

On this page, you will find, among other things:

• A world map with live attacks
  Each dot represents a recorded attack. You can see which countries are particularly active and where their attacks are directed.
• A running attack ticker
  It shows which services are currently being targeted: SSH, RDP, web servers, login forms, IoT devices and much more.
• Statistics by type of attack and country of origin
  The page clearly shows which types of attacks dominate – particularly password attacks, port scans and automated exploits.
• A true picture of the situation instead of theory
  The sensors continuously collect data and thus reflect what is really happening on the internet – not what could hypothetically happen.

Why this is relevant for every company

Attacks today are fully automated. Botnets continuously scan the network for open ports, outdated services and weak access data. They don't attack because your company is interesting – they attack because you are connected.

• The platform impressively demonstrates how:
• massive attacks are taking place,
• simultaneously fired at thousands of systems,
• targets are selected at random as long as a vulnerability exists.

Security is not a fixed state, but an ongoing process. Anyone who stops keeping an eye on their infrastructure inevitably creates blind spots – and sooner or later, these will be exploited.

What you should conclude from this

1. Keep systems up to date.
   Most attacks target known vulnerabilities.
2. Only open necessary services.
   Everything that is within reach will be attacked sooner or later.
3. Set up monitoring.
   Without log analysis and alerting, there is no early detection.
4. Periodic internal security checks.
   Don't wait until attackers find a vulnerability.

safety speedometer clearly shows that attacks are not the exception, but rather the norm in Internet operations. The question is not whether you will be attacked, but how often – and whether your protective measures are robust enough to withstand everyday use.

Those who understand this make conscious decisions: regular audits, consistent updates, clear network segmentation, transparent processes. Security does not come from hope, but from action.
