Security

At no time in the world has more information been transmitted than today - and at no time has this been associated with more threats. The spectrum of threats ranges from data theft to financial fraud and industrial espionage to state-motivated attacks in the context of aggressive geopolitics; in addition, there are threats on a socio-psychological level, such as cyberbullying. There is no question: The digital age has not only made our lives more comfortable - it has also increased our "attack surface." As a result, security is by far the most important digital megatrend. This is also reflected at DIGITAL X.

Networking is necessary - but risky

Companies are facing a major challenge: On the one hand, they need to network to an ever greater extent in order to leverage efficiency potential by means of connected business. On the other hand, they are also exposing themselves to more and more risks. Incidentally, these risks are not limited to the technical level: At a time when practiced sustainability and responsibility are essential image pillars, the reputation of a company is more fragile than ever. Fake news reports, manipulated customer ratings and leaked internal company information can therefore seriously damage a company's market position in a very short time.

What can companies expect?

Cybercriminals are constantly developing new methods to exploit vulnerabilities and cause damage - and companies can expect the IT industry to provide them with strategies and techniques to protect themselves. Systems for shielding infrastructures against unauthorized access are in demand, as are sophisticated data encryption and tamper-proof user authentication. But there is also a demand, for example, for training and staff education that promotes security-conscious behavior.

Do you want to reduce your vulnerability at the digital level as much as possible? At DIGITAL X 2023, you will find solutions for this!
