Artificial intelligence has long since made the transition from research to everyday life. It can already be found in a wide range of value-added areas, especially in business applications - across all industries. AI-supported assistants, also known colloquially as bots, have become particularly well established. Whether for researching internal company knowledge or highly specialized in an area of activity such as customer service. These digital helpers "understand" natural language, answer more complex questions and suggest solutions - all in a matter of seconds. AI-supported chatbot for recurring routine enquiries "Many companies are currently focusing on making processes more efficient and reducing the workload of employees in the long term - whether by automating simple routines or by providing assistance with complex decisions," explains Manuel Moser, Director Digital Innovations & AI at CANCOM Austria. The spectrum of applications now ranges from simple knowledge bots to assistants that independently use company applications via so-called tools. Together with CANCOM, a large educational institution has added a digital colleague to its support center: an AI-supported chatbot that automates recurring inquiries about the educational offer and answers them around the clock. A previously high number of support requests on often the same topics, which were requested via several communication channels, could thus be resolved. These recurring routine inquiries put a strain on the support team, particularly at busy times. Protection mechanisms against misuse of the bot The first step was to implement the intelligent chatbot in the university's internal Study Support Center, which was then extended to the public website. Using a specially developed service, students and interested parties can submit their inquiries around the clock via self-service. Deep integration into the organization ensures that the data is up to date. The bot accesses heterogeneous knowledge about the range of courses on offer and thus provides targeted answers to enquiries. Inquiries outside the defined area are not answered. Protection mechanisms against misuse of the bot are also included. Significant reduction in the volume of inquiries in the support center "Our CANCOM Assistant has significantly reduced the volume of inquiries in the support center - with corresponding relief for employees at peak times. In addition, improved availability is ensured, as the information can be accessed around the clock," explains Manuel Moser from CANCOM Austria. The basis for the AI solution of the university educational institution is the CANCOM Assistant Suite, which supports companies across all industries in the use of state-of-the-art LLM (Large Language Models) technology. The suite ranges from low-threshold access to knowledge to autonomous AI agents that take on entire tasks independently. Easily configurable AI agents for different business areas and processes "The CANCOM Assistant Suite integrates seamlessly into the company's existing systems and enables the use of AI in different business areas and processes through easily configurable agents," explains Manuel Moser, Director Digital Innovations & AI, CANCOM Austria. CANCOM Austria has also created benefits through AI for a large service company: This is faced with the challenge of answering a high number of email inquiries correctly in terms of content and also legally, without having to spend too much time researching internal systems. Tailor-made integration into existing work processes The AI-based CANCOM Assistant was perfectly integrated into the existing work processes - with links to internal documents, databases and other data sources. The "human in the loop" is important here: even if the AI provides suggestions, the human is still in the driver's seat and validates the answer before it is sent to the customer. "The significant reduction in research effort and the much faster response to recurring inquiries gives customer service staff the opportunity to focus on complex and sensitive cases," explains Manuel Moser, Director Digital Innovations & AI at CANCOM Austria.

Alviscan offers extensive functionalities that make the measurement process convenient and safe: During the measurement, users receive immediate feedback via the screen, short instructional videos show how to perform the measurements correctly, and the user interface is available in multiple languages to make it easier for patients from different backgrounds to use. In addition, Alviscan can be connected to any hospital information system (HIS) or electronic patient record so that the measurement results are transmitted automatically and error-free. This prevents input errors and data loss. At the same time, Alviscan strengthens patient engagement, as patients measure their vital signs independently and are more aware and actively involved in their care processes. Katharina Proske, Sales Director Digital Health at CANCOM Austria, explains: "Alviscan offers patients more personal responsibility and transparency about their vital signs, while hospitals benefit from more efficient processes, reduced sources of error and a noticeable reduction in the workload of nursing staff."

Vienna, September 2025 - In the new school year, around 40,000 pupils across Austria will receive standardized Windows school notebooks. The devices will be issued to pupils in both first grade middle school and high school as part of the Ministry of Education's end device initiative. The Ministry of Education bears the majority of the costs. Parents/guardians only pay a one-off contribution of 25% of the price of the device. Under certain circumstances, this contribution can be waived completely - in these cases, the Ministry of Education covers the costs in full. The equipment initiative is part of the digitalization offensive launched in 2021 to create the pedagogical and technical conditions for IT-supported teaching in Austrian schools. CANCOM a+d IT Solutions GmbH won the public tender for the supply and servicing of school notebooks and will fulfill a planned purchase volume of 160,000 devices by the end of 2028. Standardized equipment for digital learning The fourth-generation Lenovo V14 notebook will be used in schools in Austria. It has a 14-inch display, an AMD processor and Windows 11. The equipment is tailored to the requirements of everyday teaching. Compliance with all relevant quality and safety standards has been tested and confirmed. The notebook comes with a 4-year hardware warranty. In the 2024/25 school year, over 50% of the school devices used were already based on Windows systems. CANCOM a+d has also been supplying Lenovo Windows tablets to schools throughout Austria since 2024. The standardized school notebooks and tablets, combined with the comprehensive CANCOM services, ensure uniform technological equipment for all students and enable uninterrupted work. This solution also facilitates seamless integration into the schools' existing IT infrastructure, supports the smooth use of digital learning systems and promotes the efficient implementation of pedagogical concepts.

The digitalization of industrial processes and the rapid networking of IT and OT systems are presenting companies with ever greater challenges in the area of cybersecurity. To counteract these developments, Siemens AG Austria has expanded its partner network and certified CANCOM Austria as an official solution partner for cybersecurity and industrial strength networks. With the new EU directive NIS2 (Network and Information Security), which stipulates stricter requirements for the security measures of critical infrastructures and industrial plants, the topic is becoming increasingly important. At the same time, the geopolitical situation is exacerbating the threat scenarios for industrial companies. Expertise and solutions for modern cybersecurity challenges As a certified solution partner, CANCOM Austria offers a specialized service portfolio that supports companies in comprehensively securing their OT environments and at the same time implementing current regulatory requirements such as NIS2. Services include the analysis and risk assessment of OT environments, taking into account NIS2 requirements, the design of secure OT network architectures, the integration of industrial firewalls, switches and security components from Siemens, and the implementation of threat detection and response systems. In addition, CANCOM Austria offers 24/7 monitoring of OT systems with anomaly detection and supports compliance with regulatory requirements. "Securing OT is of the utmost importance for industrial companies," emphasizes Benjamin Schrunner-Pfeiffer, Head of Process Automation - Portfolio Sales Development at Siemens. "With CANCOM Austria as a solution partner, we can offer our customers an expanded portfolio of cybersecurity solutions for their OT environments. This is an important contribution to offering our customers the best possible protection, especially in light of the increasing requirements of the NIS2 directive and the growing threat situation." Martin Lampel, Director OT Security Solutions - System Integration at CANCOM Austria explains: "As a Siemens Solution Partner, we can now increasingly contribute our many years of cybersecurity expertise to the OT sector. Our goal is to support industrial companies in securing their critical systems while ensuring business continuity - taking into account the constantly changing threat situation and demanding compliance requirements." Focus on critical infrastructures The solutions of the partnership between Siemens and CANCOM Austria are aimed in particular at operators of critical infrastructures and industrial companies that fall under the new EU NIS2 directive. With customized security solutions, the two companies are helping to protect OT environments against attacks and secure the digital transformation of industry.

With the publication of the Cyber Security Report 2025, CANCOM once again presents a comprehensive analysis of the current threat situation and security strategies in the digital space. The annual report highlights the most important developments in the field of cyber security and shows how companies can strengthen their digital resilience - a topic that is becoming increasingly important in the face of growing threats from ransomware, social engineering and attacks on supply chains. Almost all aspects of our economic, social, political and private lives are related to cyber security in some way. According to the Allianz Global Risk Barometer, cyber incidents are among the biggest business risks worldwide at 36 percent - at the same time, according to a Munich Re study not sufficiently protected. "Cybersecurity is one of the most important key factors for strong business performance and future security," emphasizes Jochen Borenich, CEO of CANCOM Austria, in the foreword to the report. Top topics in 2025: Adversary evolution, Big 4 and zero days The report identifies several key threat areas: the increasing professionalization of attackers, the so-called "adversary evolution", the vulnerability of global supply chains and the growing sophistication of social manipulation techniques. In addition to these threats, the report also analyzes the activities of the so-called Big 4 - China, Russia, Iran and North Korea - as well as the increasing danger of zero-day attacks, which often go undetected and are used specifically by state actors. A key conclusion of the report: ransomware is and remains the number one threat. The attacks are not only becoming more frequent, but also more complex - with attempts at extortion that operate on several levels simultaneously: from data encryption and data theft to DDoS attacks and targeted contact with third parties. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly acting as an accelerator of these developments: AI-based technologies enable automated attack patterns, deceptively real deepfakes and highly personalized phishing campaigns. The report also focuses on the use of AI and LLMs in cybersecurity. It shows which LLM models attackers use and how companies can minimize risks through data validation and targeted segmentation. AI both an opportunity and a risk for cybersecurity However, AI also opens up new opportunities for defense - for example through anomaly detection, threat intelligence and automated responses. The question is no longer whether AI plays a role in cyber security - but how it is used responsibly, efficiently and strategically. Another key topic of the report is therefore the use of AI and machine learning (ML) in cyber security. While attackers are increasingly relying on generative AI, CANCOM uses ML-based technologies to detect and defend against threats at an early stage. "Data quality, validation and transparency are crucial to using AI safely and effectively," explains Erwin Friedl, Principal Cyber Security Analyst at CANCOM. Holistic security strategies against current threat scenarios In addition to analyzing the current threat situation, the report also shows specific practical strategies on how companies can counter current and future risks: For example, how companies can secure their IT and OT infrastructures holistically with the so-called 4+1 strategy (Prevent, Protect, Detect, Respond + Recover). But also how the Security Operations Center and the interaction between Red and Blue Teams - the so-called PURPLE Team - contribute to this. Quantum cryptography and NIS2: a look into the future CANCOM is also contributing its network and security expertise to research into quantum cryptography and is working on the encryption of data transfers as part of the EU QCI-CAT project. At the same time, the company supports its customers in implementing regulatory requirements such as the NIS2 directive. Interested parties can also find valuable assistance on this in the Cyber Security Report. Practical examples and voices from the business world The report contains numerous best practices and interviews - including with ORF, ZARGES and SPAR ICS - which show how companies are working with CANCOM to strengthen their security architecture. The key finding: the more sophisticated the attacks, the more intelligent and forward-looking the defense strategies need to be. The CANCOM Cyber Security Report 2025 is aimed at companies throughout the DACH region and takes into account both national and European developments - from regulatory requirements such as NIS2 and DORA to industry-specific challenges in industry, healthcare and the public sector. The complete CANCOM Cyber Security Report 2025 is now available for download at IT Security

Vienna, April 30, 2025 - For years, data rooms have been considered key to the growth of a sovereign European data economy - but their full potential often remains untapped because they present companies and public authorities with technological and operational challenges. CANCOM Austria now offers a solution that removes these hurdles. Without high integration costs or complex in-house developments, it enables secure and efficient collaboration across company and industry boundaries. The open architecture also enables the integration of data spaces based on other standards, such as Gaia-X or the International Data Spaces Association. The new solution was developed by CANCOM Austria in collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). It makes the provision of data spaces as easy as using a modern cloud platform. CANCOM Austria provides an integrated open source technology stack as a managed service that includes all the functions a company or public authority needs to participate in data rooms. The stack is operated in the data centers of the respective data room participants, as private instances in one of the CANCOM data centers or in the cloud. Another advantage: unlike many previous approaches, the solution does not require any data transfer between the participants. Thanks to the underlying service mesh architecture, communication takes place directly between the systems involved - secured by zero-trust procedures for mutual authentication and continuous attestation of identities. Alternatively, controlled data transfer is also possible, with data usage being automatically monitored and logged across the entire data room. "Data rooms can become the pillar for the European data economy and digital sovereignty - but until now the barriers to entry have been very high," explains Dietmar Wiesinger, CSO of CANCOM Austria. "We are working with HPE to lower these barriers and enable trustworthy and secure cross-company digital collaboration in shared data spaces - with full control over their own data. In this way, we help companies to strategically exploit this advantage and increase their competitiveness in the long term." The technology stack is provided fully pre-integrated by CANCOM Austria. The technology stack is based on an HPE reference architecture for federated ecosystems and uses only cloud-native open source technologies and open standards - all with a "Graduated" maturity level from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The setup, maintenance and expansion of data room functions is therefore highly standardized and automated. For example, only a few simple steps are required to connect new data room participants or create data usage rules. "In contrast to other data room approaches, we only use open source frameworks from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation for this solution," says Florian Bühr, Solution Architect, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. "We have linked these frameworks in such a way that developers have all the necessary functions for data federation and security ready to use - so they can concentrate on the specialist applications and value creation." The new solution is available immediately from CANCOM Austria. It opens up numerous application possibilities, including Secure access to multi-domain data for the training of AI agents Transparency and traceability in supply chains for regulatory compliance Monetization of data through standardized and controlled access mechanisms The configuration, monitoring and control of the data rooms is completely decentralized and under the sole control of the respective participants. Companies can define individual data usage guidelines and adapt these flexibly to their business requirements. To make the most of the potential of modern data ecosystems and to share data with partners in a secure, controlled and self-determined manner, CANCOM Austria offers solutions that redesign collaboration in companies, optimize processes and implement innovative use cases. The experts at CANCOM Austria support their customers from the initial idea through to operational implementation. CANCOM services include, for example, discovery workshops, onboarding, connection of data sources to the data room and finally the operation of the technology stack as a managed service.

Gesundheit Burgenland is also making history in the mobile communications sector: Austria's first 5G hospital went into operation in May 2024 with the new Oberwart clinic. The clinics in Kittsee, Güssing, Oberpullendorf and the headquarters in Eisenstadt followed in the months that followed. Gesundheit Burgenland is thus taking on a pioneering role in Austria and is also setting the pace internationally - there are currently only a few clinics in Europe with their own 5G campus network. Fast help thanks to digital networking Pagers and DECT telephony are now obsolete. All voice communication and alarms in the Burgenland clinics run exclusively via the independent 5G network. Healthcare staff are equipped with professional, handy devices that resemble a smartphone. "With this solution, we are also ideally positioned for future requirements and technological challenges - both in terms of internal communication and for new digital procedures, processes and apps that can be used in hospital operations in the future," says Harald Binder, IT Director at Gesundheit Burgenland. "It is conceivable that the entire logistics - from patient transport to medication delivery - as well as simplifications and improvements in patient care and safety will be managed via the new system in the future." Franz Öller, MBA, MPH, Commercial Director of Gesundheit Burgenland: "The hospital of the future will be based on an independent 5G campus network that offers maximum data security on the one hand and enables innovative healthcare on the other, for example through AI-supported diagnoses that require huge amounts of data to be processed in the shortest possible time. Gesundheit Burgenland is leading its clinics into the future with the help of these modern, telecommunication solutions with the aim of making medicine faster, safer and more efficient for everyone." Magenta and CANCOM built an independent 5G campus network In order to enable fail-safe operation, it was necessary to set up a completely independent 5G network. Martin Ellesch, Senior VP Managed Services at CANCOM: "Together with Magenta, we have implemented a private mobile network that operates completely independently of the public mobile network. The 5G platform used delivers highly available voice and data services in the hospital environment and is also an important catalyst for further digitalization in the healthcare sector." "This project is a real game changer for the healthcare sector. Instead of the DECT technology that has been tried and tested for decades, we are relying on a forward-looking solution in which all users such as doctors, nursing staff and technicians only need a single end device with the applications required for hospital operations. This makes work much more mobile and flexible for users," explains Thomas Brezina, Director Healthcare at CANCOM Austria. Werner Kraus, Managing Director for the business customer segment at Magenta, adds: "This is a tailor-made solution for Gesundheit Burgenland. The hospital network has dual redundancy and continues to run even in the event of a power or technical failure. Gesundheit Burgenland manages the 5G network itself in an "on premise" solution via the in-house IT department, also for data protection reasons." In international cutting-edge medicine, 5G hospitals are still the exception. There are European examples in Oulu in Finland and in the German city of Leipzig. Gesundheit Burgenland thus joins the still very short list of digital pioneers in Europe. Gesundheit Burgenland - Burgenländische Krankenanstalten-Gesellschaft m.b.H. was founded in 1992 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the province and has been operational since January 1993. Since 2019, it has been owned by Landesholding Burgenland GmbH (90 percent of the shares) and the province of Burgenland (ten percent). The head office of Gesundheit Burgenland is located in Eisenstadt. The Gesundheit Burgenland Group has around 2,500 employees, making it the largest employer in the province. The company generates around 22 percent of the revenue of the Landesholding Group and is the second-largest company in the Group according to this criterion (after Burgenland Energie AG). A new clinic was built in Oberwart between 2020 and 2024 and has been in operation since the beginning of May 2024. Gesundheit Burgenland is also planning to build a clinic in Gols in the district of Neusiedl am See. CANCOM Austria (formerly Kapsch BusinessCom).

Munich, 12. February 2025 - CANCOM will once again be represented at DMEA, Europe's leading event for digital health, in 2025, and will be presenting itself with its own booth (hall 2.2, booth E-106) from April 8 to 10, 2025. CANCOM healthcare experts from Germany, Austria and Switzerland will be demonstrating integrated AI and digitization solutions and inviting trade visitors to find out more about innovative technologies and services that are specifically tailored to the needs and regulations of healthcare facilities. In addition, interested parties will receive personal advice at the booth. The healthcare industry faces a number of challenges in the digital transformation, including data protection and security, interoperability, user adoption, and regulatory requirements. At booth E-106 in Hall 2.2, CANCOM will be presenting approaches to meeting these requirements and making processes in healthcare facilities more efficient and secure through digital transformation and the use of AI. Numerous use cases will be presented. Key topics: digital transformation for greater efficiency and security One focus is on specific applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. CANCOM demonstrates how AI technologies can intelligently support therapy processes, surgical planning, care measures and administrative activities in order to save valuable time and resources. A prime example of this is the SiMed research project, which is unique in the DACH market and enables the safe dispensing of solid medications. Using an extensive database of medication, the AI recognizes whether the medication contained in the dispenser matches the doctor's prescription. This helps to reduce medication errors and relieve the burden on nursing staff. Another focus is on solutions in the area of cybersecurity. These not only offer protection against cyber threats but also provide holistic support to healthcare institutions in building digital resilience. The company will show how institutions can future proof themselves to meet the increasing demands for security, stability and governance. One highlight is the protection of medical devices against unauthorized access. CANCOM presents specialized IoT and IoMT solutions that close security gaps while ensuring that the approval and functionality of the devices are not compromised. In addition, CANCOM will show how business continuity management (BCM) can help ensure the operation of healthcare facilities even in crisis situations, for example with emergency plans, and how it can create resilient IT infrastructures. Digital supply management illustrates how technologies can automate and optimize processes in healthcare facilities while increasing patient satisfaction. In the area of virtual learning, innovative concepts for training and continuing education in the healthcare industry will be presented that promote the qualification of skilled workers. Long-standing technology partners In addition, well-known manufacturers in the field of AI and digitization, such as NVIDIA and Getinge, will be represented at the CANCOM booth. In cooperation with NVIDIA, the Digital Human, a virtual assistant, will be presented. This solution offers interactive support and provides relevant information to patients and healthcare professionals. Together with Getinge, CANCOM presents efficient solutions such as Torin for surgical planning and INSIGHT for optimizing clinical workflows. Torin improves surgical capacity planning, reduces turnaround times, and increases resource utilization. INSIGHT supports data-driven decision-making, increases process transparency, and optimizes resource utilization - for greater efficiency and improved patient care. Personalized advice and comprehensive expertise The CANCOM mission “We transform for better healthcare” is reflected in all the solutions shown: the goal is to shape the future of healthcare and to tangibly improve patient care through innovative technologies. The CANCOM Healthcare team invites you to a personal exchange at several meeting islands. Here, digitalization solutions are individually tailored to the requirements of healthcare facilities – including country-specific conditions and legal requirements such as the NIS-2 directive. On the second evening of the trade fair, a relaxed networking event will also take place at the booth to round off the day together.
