For more than 40 years, Security Essen has been the leading trade fair for civil security and thus also a meeting place for knowledge exchange. At the new Digital Networking Security Conference in Hall 7, experts will report on current incidents, important interfaces between corporate and IT security, legal requirements and practical implementation examples on the first two days of the fair. The speakers of the 14 presentations will cover topics such as “Between cybercrime and cyberwarfare – why cybersecurity is a matter for the boss” (Thomas Köhler, nonfiction author), “DDOS attacks via IoT devices” (David Walkiewicz, Director Test Research at AV-TEST) and “Next Level Security Awareness Training” (Alex Wyllie, founder and CEO of IT-Seal). In addition, attendees can expect valuable recommendations for action in managing cyber crises (Dr. Holger Kaschner, Information Security Consulting, DCSO German Cyber Security Organization) and advice on the secure use of cloud applications (Oliver Dehning, Head of TeleTrusT AG Cloud Security). The DNS conference is organized in cooperation with the trade journal “kes”.
