Med lanceringen af en ny film sætter Demant fokus på vigtigheden af høresundhed – og at værne om hørelsen gennem hele livet. I mere end 115 år har Demant-koncernen og herunder en række høre- og teknologivirksomheder hjulpet mennesker med høretab med at leve et aktivt liv. Historien om Demant startede med import af høreapparater i Odense for mere end 100 år siden. Import blev siden til egenproduktion, og op gennem 1900-tallet og nullerne kom diagnostik, høreimplantater, lydløsninger og headsets til gruppen, som er med kendt for Oticon-brandet. I dag er Demant en af verdens førende og største høresundhedsvirksomheder, der tilbyder den bredeste pallette af behandling til mennesker med høretab. Virksomhedens historie og formål har ikke før fundet vej til videoformatet, men nu lancerer Demant en ny film, der indkapsler ånden i selskabet og det formål, som har præget virksomheden og dens medarbejdere lige fra starten. Nemlig at gøre en livsændrende forskel for mennesker med høretab. ”Demant

Demant-gruppen oplevede en kritisk hændelse på vores interne it-infrastruktur den 3. september 2019. Gruppens it-infrastruktur blev ramt af cyberkriminalitet. Vores hurtige reaktion på hændelsen og lukningen af vores it-systemer på tværs af lokationer og forretningsenheder inddæmmede og begrænsede hændelsen. Vores gradvise og omfattende genetablering fortsætter efter planen og vores prioriteringer, og organisationen arbejder intensivt med fremgang på en struktureret og grundig måde. Vi får fortsat dele af vores it-infrastruktur op at køre; vi fortsætter dog med at have nøgle-it-systemer lukket for at sikre sikker genetablering. Vi har ingen indikationer på, at persondata er tilgået eller udtaget fra vores systemer i forbindelse med hændelsen, og potentiel skade er inddæmmet. Vi fortsætter med at undersøge dette og vil foretage underretninger til relevante myndigheder som påkrævet. I genetableringen fortsætter vi med at drive virksomheden bedst muligt. Vi gør alt, hvad vi kan, for at se
