Another Extremely Successful Event!

The Second Cyber Security Conference

Together with entrepreneurs, business leaders and prominent experts from the fields of cyber security, economics, science and politics, we were once again successful in shedding light on the topic of cyber security at the second Cyber Security Conference. Numerous exciting talks and discussions saw current developments outlined and solutions for a free digital world developed.

  • Scientists gave talks on the possibilities and dangers of artificial intelligence and quantum computing and the impact on the economy.
  • Business leaders subjected cyber security to a reality check and discussed the threat level in the age of digital transformation.
  • Decision-makers from the political sphere emphasized the importance of digitalization in Germany and its consequences for the security of the country.
  • Security experts demonstrated defense strategies against cyberattacks and gave helpful tips on how to act in the event of a crisis.
  • Dr. Wladimir Klitschko, an internationally known voice from Kyiv, gave shocking firsthand insights into the ongoing war in Ukraine and described technological warfare in everyday life.

The experimenta in Heilbronn, Germany’s largest Science Center, has also proven itself as a venue. The ambience was one of a kind: The agenda was complemented by powerful visuals on the huge dome screen and state-of-the-art technology. Innovative exhibits and an unprecedented stage production on the topic of cyber security rounded off the program.

With all of this, we are striving to raise awareness. The topic of cyber security is a key issue of our time. The threat is not going anywhere. But there are effective countermeasures. We bring them to light. Our focus is on people: To keep our digital world secure, we need to take a holistic approach – from technical infrastructure to the human psyche.

A Highly Successful Event!

That Was the First Cyber Security Conference
Together with entrepreneurs, business leaders and prominent experts from the cyber security industry, intelligence services, economy, science and politics, we explored the topic of cyber security from perspectives that had never been seen before:
  • Intelligence and law enforcement agencies provided exclusive insights into the international investigation and prosecution of cybercriminals.
  • Concerned business leaders authentically demonstrated how attackers broke down their walls and revealed the consequences that still affect them today.
  • Scientific experts shared alarming insights on the future challenges of cyber security.
  • Decision-makers from the political sphere gave impressive presentations on the tools that policymakers are using to act.
  • Dr. Vladimir Klitschko, as an internationally known voice from Kyiv, reported on the current war situation and contrasted the impact of virtual attacks on a state from cyberspace with Ukraine's fight against the Russian aggressor.
The venue was Germany's Largest Science Center, the experimenta in Heilbronn. The ambience was one of a kind: The agenda was complemented by powerful visuals on the huge dome screen and state-of-the-art technology. Innovative exhibits and an unprecedented stage production on the topic of cybersecurity rounded off the program.

With all of this, we want to achieve one thing: Cybersecurity concerns all of us and must be made the top priority in order to advance the security of our society. For, we do not wait, we act.
