In Germany, Section 11 of the Federal Data Protection Act and Section 80 of the Tenth Book of the Social Security Act regulate 'commissioned data processing' or 'commissioned data processing (ADV)'. They provide the framework for the 'outsourcing' of data processing contracts to external third parties. Since 2009, the Federal Data Protection Act has referred to a ten-point rule, which...

The term 'Binding Corporate Rules' (BCR) first appeared in the EU Data Protection Working Party in June 2003. The idea was to create a flexible instrument for data transfer that would also meet the requirements of data protection law. The result was a procedure that allows companies to comply with data protection when transferring...

The 'heart' of every computer is the CPU. This central processing unit (CPU) or central processing unit (CPU) is a miniaturized computing chip that processes defined computing processes ('algorithms') according to its 'architecture' of semiconductors (or 'transistors'). CPUs are no longer only found in computers, but are also used today, for example....

The number of cases where a 'ransom' is to be extorted by blocking the computer is increasing. The user of a computer sees a 'demand' from the attackers on the monitor instead of the usual working environment, but their data is encrypted. The perfidious thing about this is that the method itself is increasingly becoming a hindrance: If the victim responds to such a...

From the very beginning, the IT service provider b.r.m. has been a member of Bremen's 'Partnerschaft Umwelt Unternehmen'. The aim here has always been - and still is - to find the best possible solution for both employees and the environment. The technical term for this is 'work ecology'. In the university-affiliated working group 'NaGut - sustainable good work', this work ecology approach is...

The introduction of e-files, digital business models, new software functions, documentation, project planning 'on the run', constant availability - the rapid pace of digitalization is not only overwhelming employees, but has also long since overwhelmed many employers. The pressure to implement digitalization is increasing, while at the same time there is growing fear as to whether one's own skills and job security...

Without a clear address, no message reaches the recipient on the Internet; in this respect, 'virtual life' and 'real life' are similar. This address, called a 'domain', is a coherent sub-area within the Internet hierarchy that allows exact addressing. Network customers can freely choose the names of the domains - if they have not already been assigned. You register the...

Page views - or page impressions - measure the number of page views of online content, i.e. clicks. It is primarily a commercial indicator that is calculated monthly by the 'Gesellschaft für die Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V.' (IVW). Anyone who participates in the process is also subject to the IVW's regulations. So far, these are approximately...

Anyone who deals with quantum computers will soon find their head spinning. You will suddenly find yourself deep in the field of theoretical and atomic physics. Here is just this much: where 'traditional computers' are based on two voltage states that are either exceeded or fallen short of (the bits), a quantum computer uses the many different states that exist at the molecular level.
