POCABAR with partner IBM at it-sa
The POCABAR team attended it-sa, which is Europe's leading Cyber Security Expo with 19,449 trade visitors from 55 countries and 795 exhibitors from 30 countries.

International IT security experts and decision-makers met at Exhibition Center Nuremberg to exchange views on challenges and trends in cyber security.

SADDI launches Recruitment Campaign
Summer break is over, and, back to business, people may think of the next steps in their professional career. Perfect timing for launching a recruitment campaign!
As reference to SADDI's comic book style, the ad targets potential "super heroes for making the IT world a safer place". It doesn't show open positions and addresses beginners as well as pros, to draw public attention to exciting jobs in this field, and to make people curious to learn more now.
The ad debuted in its German version in the cyber security brochure issued by German law enforcement agencies in September, and then appeared also in English in online and print media as well as in promotional articles.

Debut of our new Booth
At contact fair Pyramid, we celebrated the debut of our new booth reflecting POCABAR's corporate design. We realized that interested visitors appreciated the large QR code a lot. This way, they could look up our website on their cell phones, prior to approaching our team for a conversation.
Just like last year, the contact fair in the university city Augsburg/Germany can be considered a great success for us. Many computer science students took advantage of this ideal opportunity to make initial contact and get first hand information from our great team about our innovative, exciting products and services. And now: Let's keep in touch!

POCABAR counts on Green Data Center
POCABAR CEO Wolfgang Mair signed the contract for moving the first servers into the new data center built and operated by LEW TelNet. The remarkable key point: It's a high tech and completely C02 neutral Green Data Center.
Wolfgang Mair: "The LEW Green Data Center's idea has excited us immediately; already at a very early stage. Therefore, we're now one of its first clients as well as its ambassador. For a long time, we're already partners of LEW TelNet and, of course, are actively recommending this climate friendly data center to our clients."

Webinar: NAC for mid-sized Companies
Our one-hour webinar about "NAC for mid-sized Companies" has been a great success!
After a welcome by Katharina Rech from our partner Forescout Technologies, POCABAR's VP CyberSecurity, Manuel Vazquez, first spoke about the challenges of network security, in particular the detection and monitoring of all connected end devices. Afterwards, our client Winkelmann Group contributed the appropriate success story from practice right away.
We're very proud that Manuel Vazquez has already been granted Forescout Forerunner status a while ago, the highest level of recognition individuals can achieve with Forescout. This status is solely based on experience and technical competence, and it includes various exclusive, mandatory in-depth training opportunities with Forescout.

Proud Partner of the AEV Panthers
Cyber security and ice hockey have a lot of common ground: High performance, rapid response, proactive moves, and permanent training (education).
POCABAR is proud to continue supporting the AEV Panthers during the 2023/2024 season. The Augsburg based Panthers are a major league ice hockey team in Germany playing in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), with fans all across the country and beyond.

POCABAR focuses on E-Mobility
Innovation is part of POCABAR's business, not only in terms of products and services, but also with our fleet. That's why we're focusing entirely on environmentally friendly e-mobility already for some time now.
Wolfgang Mair (CEO) recently gained international "e-experience" on a business trip to Milan/Italy, which included crossing the famous Swiss San Bernardino Pass. His assessment after 1,000km in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy: "The charging infrastructure along the highways is already very well developed. There were always stations available for fast charging. If you're still hesitant to go on vacation abroad with an electric vehicle, I can reassure you: It's no problem at all!"

Sybille Lohfink-Mair (COO & CFO) was particularly enthusiastic about the interest shown by the many female students: "We very much welcome the fact that more and more female applicants are coming forward. Cyber security and networks are exciting topics, and not just for males anymore."
