Security & Privacy
Our digitalized and networked world relies on IT systems, networks, applications and barely controllable amounts of information. With every additional digitized business or corporate process, the next network or the next application, the potential risk of falling victim to a cybercriminal attack increases. How can an appropriate level of security or data protection-compliant implementation be ensured in this environment?
The Security & Privacy working group has set itself the goal of finding suitable answers, identifying requirements and risks, and exchanging experience and best practices. As an information platform, it offers practice-oriented support for current and future challenges as well as a needs- and solution-oriented view of the issues. In regular meetings, it highlights developments and provides space for networking.
Objectives of the Working Group
- Establishment of an information and communication platform for users and interested parties
- Promoting security and data protection in IT, processes and organization
- Anchoring the topics in business and politics
- Supporting the exchange between companies and (supervisory) authorities
- Demand-oriented further development together with the community
