How geopolitical tensions are changing security architectures - and why ransomware has long been part of global power games.

Europe’s path toward digital sovereignty is colliding with a new reality. Cyberattacks are increasingly shifting into API driven, multi cloud environments. This panel explores how organizations can combine data sovereignty, compliance and modern cloud security to stay protected.

Opening of the event and welcome by the moderator

Cyber threats know no borders. This international fireside chat brings together experts from around the world to explore the evolving global cybersecurity landscape. 

Cybersecurity meets artificial intelligence - double agent or bodyguard?
Artificial intelligence is both a blessing and a curse: on the one hand, it helps to detect anomalies, but on the other, it can also be used for extremely sophisticated attacks. Deepfakes, generative malware and autonomous attack tools are on the dark side - smart firewalls and adaptive threat detection on the light side. This panel clarifies: Who is currently ahead - man or machine?

In this panel discussion, experts will examine how modern identity and access management and zero trust strategies have become central components of modern security architectures in Europe. The focus will be on how companies and government organisations can reliably protect digital identities, control access and meet compliance and data protection requirements. The discussion will highlight practical approaches – from passwordless authentication and strong authentication to identity governance and role management to zero trust architectures that sustainably reduce attack surfaces.
The panel will also consider the specific challenges facing the public sector, such as federal structures, varying degrees of maturity and the implementation of EU-wide requirements such as NIS2 and DORA.

The breakthrough of artificial intelligence has been heralded for a long time. But now, with ChatGPT and GPT-4, the social and economic impact is becoming apparent, even to experts who do not always have a complete overview. This lecture places AI in the context of digitalisation, explains the principles and industry dynamics of digital corporations, and illustrates how artificial intelligence is both underestimated and overestimated. And yet it is changing the world.

This panel shows what companies can expect in terms of operations with NIS2, DORA and CRA. The focus is on practical compliance, risk management and implementation of the new EU cybersecurity requirements. Experts provide insights into challenges and solutions for everyday life.

Trust is good – but in networked systems, it is often the biggest weak point. This panel highlights the growing threat posed by supply chain attacks and the risks involved in dealing with third-party providers. The focus is on securing complex supply chains, industrial control systems (OT) and critical infrastructures such as energy supply.
