Hello,

as the title say it, i am new to Bitcoin. Is there a standart knowlege to be secure or anything else i need to know

Welcome.

If you aren't a technical person than secure yourself with one of these companies:

1) https://greenaddress.it
 2-of-2 multisignature with nLockTime (possible temporarily unable to spend funds) / Free
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=521988.0

2)https://www.bitgo.com/
2 of 3 multisig / Free
 
3) https://www.coinbase.com/vault   or coinbase.com
2 of 3 multisig / insured / Free

4) https://www.bitalo.com/why_bitalo
 2-of-2 multisignature

5) Circle.com

Otherwise here is a lot more knowledge to secure your coins yourself:

Use some common sense as well.

1) Avoid investing in Bitcoin or any alts until you are very familiar the technology. Many alt coins are pump and dump scams. Simply use bitcoins as a useful tool in the meantime

2) Do not mine bitcoins until you go through extensive learning

3) Do not invest or gamble away your bitcoins with any service or person who guarantees returns

Good response, i think it would also be wise to point out to the OP that with companies like Circle.com and Coinbase.com you do not have access to your private keys. Although these are big companies and unlikely to run of with your bitcoins i wouldn't personally trust them or anyone, the OP did mention 'secure' when asking for help so i thought it best to post this.
If going with Coinbase at least choose the vault option so they don't have full access to your funds.
