Christmas greetings from b.r.m. IT & Aerospace

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear friends and colleagues,

Santa Claus and his faithful reindeer have long since completed their integration into our airspace and the children are once again waiting for his arrival.

There has also been a lot of work on integration in unmanned aviation this year and perhaps we will soon be able to make it easier for Rudolph and his buddies to work in the Christmas airspace.

As 2023 draws to a close, I would like to give you a brief review of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) highlights that have moved us:

The AERO aviation trade fair took place in Friedrichshafen from April 19-22, 2023. With the joint stand "Specific Made in Bremen" and numerous partners, we were able to comprehensively present the capacities and activities in Bremen and northern Germany. Please take a look.

The 54th Paris Air Show took place in early summer. In close cooperation with the stakeholders of "Bremen - City of Aerospace", we were able to present the topic "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP)" to a European and international audience and enjoyed the lively exchange on UTM, ATM and other topics. You can find a short insight here.

The 13th National Maritime Conference in Bremen on September 14 and 15, 2023 presented a wide range of innovations for the maritime world. Here we were able to shed extensive light on the cross-cutting topic of unmanned aviation in a maritime context. Impressions

Over the course of the year, we won the SKADRO project (Scalable Drone Communication Systems for U-Space Areas) and are currently in the middle of implementing it together with our partners from the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute and TU Berlin.Find out more.

Back in May, we were able to test the project idea "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP)" with an initial launch around our Hatten-UAS German Flight Center at Oldenburg-Hatten airfield (EDWH).

As part of a comprehensive permit, we now have 3600 km² of flying area available for BVLOS operations.(Details)

This approval has also been granted for 2024 and we are looking forward to more exciting UAS campaigns in the new year.

Online webinars from home via Teleconference Web Video Conferenc

GDPR-compliant conference solutions

Conferencing solutions have become an integral part of today's working world. They enable location-independent phone calls with cameras and document sharing. However, not all providers offer data protection.

GDPR-compliant conference solutions

Given the large number of providers, user-friendliness and data security are particularly important. In addition, installation effort and costs vary significantly between the different providers. Even if a video conference with a cloud connection initially seems compliant, it should always be borne in mind that the service provider has complete control over the data. Compliance with the GDPR is required by law for all data processing and data storage. It should be noted that although the providers encrypt the data in transit through the internet, decryption takes place on the provider's servers, i.e. on the cloud servers. Although the providers must comply with the GDPR, the user is dependent on the trust of the providers. As this trust is very questionable in terms of data protection, a secure alternative should be found.

Conference solutions at b.r.m.

The Bremen-based company b.r.m. IT & Aerospace offers its customers GDPR-compliant conference solutions through its Green IT-certified data center. The files are stored at b.r.m. unlike conventional providers, the files are not decrypted on the cloud servers in the USA, but on b.r.m.'s servers in Bremen. The use of Zoom, for example, is therefore GDPR-compliant, as Zoom no longer has control over the data. Several privacy principles as well as technical and organizational measures (TOM) ensure that the data of the conference solution is sustainably protected and handled in compliance with the GDPR.

The GDPR applies to all personal data that is processed on the internet. This means that every provider is required to comply with it. Violations lead to fines of 20 million euros and, in the case of tech giants, up to four percent of global turnover. We offer you the solution to this issue. The advice and support provided by b.r.m. enables security analyses and risk assessments of your data flow. If you have any questions about our GDPR-compliant conference solution, you can contact our data protection expert Harald Rossol at any time.

Email security, data protection, secure personal email, encrypti

Mail encryption

There is a general security risk on the Internet, as data transfer on the Internet is always unencrypted. To ensure that emails can only be received and read by authorized persons, there are various security mechanisms for encrypting emails. This also fulfills the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Mail encryption

end-to-end encryption

End-to-end encryption guarantees a high level of security in data transfer. Before an email is sent, it is encrypted by the sender, remains encrypted across all transmission stations and is decrypted again by the recipient. This mail encryption provides complete protection that does not allow any intermediate stations to be involved. This ensures increased confidentiality, authenticity and integrity of the data.

Furthermore, emails are encrypted using digital signature procedures with two keys. Each user generates a private signature key (private key) and a public verification key (public key). With the help of the public key, every user can encrypt their mail and only the owner of the private key, who decrypts the encrypted mail, can decrypt it again. The public key can therefore only encrypt the data and the private key can decrypt it again. This type of coding is called asymmetric encryption. Although it is slower than symmetric encryption, in which the sender and recipient have a shared key, it is more secure.

Mail encryption for servers

Encryption is an established standard for email servers. This is done using various encryption protocols. These include, for example, Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is used by most web browsers and web servers, such as Firefox. Encrypted communication between a computer and a web server can be recognized by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) or by a small lock in the browser bar. Different exchange protocols are assigned to different ports for unencrypted and encrypted communication between mail servers. Port 25 is normally used with the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), i.e. unencrypted. Encrypted communication can, for example, take place via port 465 using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Secure.

The topic of email encryption is very important, as it is expressly recommended by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is fully included in the IT service of the Bremen-based company b.r.m. IT & Aerospace is fully included. If you have any questions about sending and encrypting emails, please contact us.

Microsoft Teams security vulnerability

The Microsoft Teams platform is used by many companies for video conferences or other chats. Confidential documents are often exchanged in the process. However, researchers have now discovered that there is a security vulnerability at Microsoft.

Microsoft Teams security vulnerability

After installation, many companies leave Microsoft Teams in its default configuration and rely on Microsoft's security barriers. The default configuration allows authorized team members to communicate with other external users. As a result, there is a basic risk of phishing, a method by which hackers attempt to obtain confidential information from a team member or the company using a form, for example. However, staff are often trained for precisely these cases and recognize the danger due to the dubious or conspicuous links in emails. In addition, the security barrier warns of the attacks with messages and restrictions.

Where is the security gap?

A team of researchers from the British security company Jumpsec has found a way to circumvent the security barrier of the standard configuration of Teams. To do this, the IT experts changed the recipient ID for the post-request of the message from external parties. As a result, the external message with the malware is identified as a message from an authorized team member and is not recognized by the Teams security control. This makes the phishing attack more difficult to detect by trained personnel and leads to the introduction of malware, which in turn can endanger all team members of the company. Unauthorized persons are able to gain access to sensitive data through this security gap. This security gap poses a massive threat to compliance with the GDPR.

At the Bremen-based company b.r.m. IT & Aerospace, the GDPR is secured by a certified data center. Our technical and organizational measures (TOM) as well as security analyses and risk assessments improve the IT security of your company. The efficient consulting and support of our customers has helped b.r.m. to win several awards in the field of IT security and even the environment, as the b.r.m. data center is not only GDPR certified, but also Green IT certified. If you are interested, you are welcome to contact the Managing Director of b.r.m. Harald Rossol if you are interested.

Green IT in the face of energy shortages

When it comes to energy saving and environmental friendliness, green IT seems to be the best and most proven solution for the time being. This rethink has resulted from rising energy prices and growing environmental awareness. However, even before this time, there were pioneers who were particularly concerned with the topic of energy saving and environmental friendliness.

Green IT in the face of energy shortages

What is the difference?

A data center emits an extreme amount of heat and often has to be cooled with air conditioning systems, for example. The electricity used for this is not only very expensive, but also unsustainable in terms of resources. In addition, the ecological footprint swells and is in turn very harmful to the environment.

In order to minimize and solve these problems, clever minds have developed the Green IT operating concept. In addition, many websites provide helpful tips for optimizing and saving resources. Bremen entrepreneur Harald Rossol was one of the first in Germany to successfully apply green IT. In addition, his company b.r.m. can save around 60% of energy costs without any loss of performance thanks to its certified data center, which also has a positive impact on customers. His hardware and software optimizations have helped him and his company to win a number of awards and a high reputation in the IT industry.

Green IT at b.r.m.

The new operating concept is standard for b.r.m. standard. In addition to numerous other optimizations in the data center, Green IT has proven to be a successful and certified concept. The environmentally friendly and GDPR-compliant data center has been available to b.r.m. customers for years. The waste heat from the data center is used to heat and cool offices.

B.r.m. is a pioneer of green IT, which is consciously and as sustainably as possible committed to energy efficiency, the environment and the conservation of resources.

Sustainability: thinking outside the box ...

Forestry has coined the term sustainability: a forest should always be managed so carefully that, firstly, the biotope remains healthy and, secondly, the timber yield does not decrease over the generations. Sustainability therefore describes a long-term method of management. In the course of the ecological debate, this principle was then transferred to other sectors of the economy.

The concept of sustainability has also found its way into IT. At the end of the life cycle, the raw materials used should be recycled. Secondly, the energy used to operate the computers should come exclusively from renewable sources. The latter can be easily achieved today. This is nothing more than a question of goodwill. The complete recycling of technical components, on the other hand, cannot yet be fully implemented in IT services. However, our servers are working at the current maximum level of sustainability.
