IT-Defense 2024Round Tables

Round Tables

When it comes to a specialist conference, it is not only the lecturers' quality that matters but it is also important to exchange experiences with other participants who are in similar positions  and deal with similar issues. IT-Defense offers a clear framework to discuss security issues and topics with other participating security experts. 

Participants can discuss their own problems and other profound issues in small groups. For this purpose, IT-Defense lecturers serve as moderators; however, it is also possible to form individual groups on specific subjects.

Simultaneous round-table discussions will be available on Friday, February 2, 2024.

This round table will mainly present the content of the European NIS-2 Directive and, as far as possible, the related German implementation act. Dr. Christoph Wegener will shed light on the requirements that result for companies and, together with the participants, discuss the possible consequences for their companies.
