🇪🇺 EU-Fokus, starke Impulse und Networking, das hängen bleibt!

Der ACP Teams Day zum Thema „Digitale Souveränität“ hat gezeigt, worauf es wirklich ankommt: relevanter Austausch statt endloser Slides.

Gemeinsam mit europäischen Herstellern, kurzen Pitches und einem starken Roundtable stand vor allem eines im Fokus – ehrliche Gespräche mit echtem Mehrwert für den Vertrieb.

Auch das EU-inspirierte Catering von Weißwurst über Smørrebrød bis Leberkäs hat das Konzept perfekt abgerundet. ✨

Großes Danke an die Veranstalter für dieses starke Event! Nina Lemberger & Alexander Paral
Danke auch an Robert Kurz, Markus Fieler und Serife Özkan für die Präsenz vor Ort 🙌

⚠️ From Hospitals to Governments: Ransomware Is Escalating Fast

From healthcare systems in the Netherlands being forced offline, to political parties like Die Linke facing data exfiltration, ransomware attacks are escalating across critical sectors. Manufacturers, law firms, energy companies, and even luxury brands are now prime targets — with attackers stealing sensitive data and threatening public leaks to force payment. The pattern is clear: no industry is immune, and the impact goes far beyond financial loss, putting operations, reputations, and personal data at serious risk.

We’re excited to be part of the Dell Technologies World 2026 in Las Vegas! 🚀

From May 18–21, the tech world comes together for groundbreaking innovations, visionary keynotes, and real connections that shape the future of IT.

We’ll be at Booth #1319 — and we’d love to see you there. Stop by, say hi, and let’s talk about how ProLion is redefining data security in real-world environments.

Who are we going to see there? 👀

One Week. Multiple Attacks. Zero Mercy. 👀
From banks to police departments — no one is off limits.

In just a few days, ransomware attacks have hit organizations across multiple industries — from financial institutions and global brands to public authorities and research centers. Over 672,000 banking records were exposed, critical infrastructure was disrupted, and even law enforcement systems were forced offline. In some cases, attackers entered through something as simple as a misconfigured firewall or a phishing email. Operations were halted, sensitive data put at risk, and entire systems had to be rebuilt from scratch. 🚨

The pattern is clear: attackers are getting faster, more precise, and more aggressive. And the question is no longer if — but when.

👉 Don’t wait until it’s too late. See how you can protect your data, detect threats in real time, and stop ransomware before it spreads:

Arrow Bootcamp in Wien – ein kurzer Rückblick✨

Wir hatten die Gelegenheit, gemeinsam mit NetApp beim Arrow Bootcamp in Wien zu zeigen, was es bei uns Neues gibt.

Vor Ort waren Manuel Ebner und Gerald Berger, die spannende Einblicke und Highlights präsentiert haben.

Es war großartig, die neuesten Entwicklungen direkt mit Partnern und Kunden zu teilen und den Austausch rund um innovative Lösungen zu erleben.
