About the Conference:

For the fourth time, Convent, in cooperation with Zeitverlag, hosted their annual cyber security conference. In the course of the ever-increasing professionalization of cybercrime, protection against cyber attacks is in focus worldwide. The annual cyber security conference offered an excellent forum with helpful answers to outline the immensely high damage potential for business, politics and science to name the risk scenarios and to identify solutions.

Ransomware, malware, “cybercrime as a service”, botnets, cryptojacking, darknet – criminals are using new technologies to carry out cyber attacks against individuals, businesses or even governments. The criminals act across borders, they cause serious damage and represent a real threat – almost anyone can become a victim of a cyber attack. Cybercriminals are becoming more and more agile and are using new technologies for their own purposes. The damage is immense when hospitals or city administrations are hacked – it is not uncommon for large sums of ransom to be paid.
