Security is more important than ever in the digital world. Cyber attacks are growing rapidly, and companies are facing huge challenges when it comes to protecting themselves.
That's why it's great that platforms like the German IT Security Congress 2025 give orientation and new impulses (in a beautiful ambience) to offer!
This year, Congress went to the Sixth edition, and the organizers promise: Bigger, more exciting and more exciting than ever! On Thursday 25 September, IT decision makers, international manufacturers and the best speakers in the industry met. The opening was at 9:45 a.m., and the event officially ended with the awarding of the IT Award and the start of the after-show party around 6:15 p.m.
As the quote from former FBI Director Robert Mueller so aptly says: “There are two types of companies: Those who have already been hacked and those who will." The risk of being hit by a cyber attack is higher than ever, and that is why we all need to rethink our security strategies holistically.
