CyberSecurity Conference at Security Essen
CyberSecurity will be a topic at Security Essen at Messe Essen that will be the meeting place for the international security and fire protection industry from 25 to 28 September 2018.
According to the current CyberSecurity Report of the consulting company Deloitte, 83% of the surveyed companies report at least one attack per month on their company. In half of these companies there is even a daily alarm – with a total annual damage sum of around 13 billion euros. That's why Security Essen is setting standards with a targeted focus on digital security. In the new CyberSecurity Conference, experts will pass on their knowledge about this ever more pressing challenge.
CyberSecurity Conference
On all four days of the fair, the Cyber Security Conference will offer listeners concrete knowledge transferable to their own companies about the current challenges and potential of CyberSecurity. The programme opens and closes on 25 and 28 September with the main topic “Opportunities and Risks of CyberSecurity“. On 26 September, discussions and lectures will follow on the topic of “Entry, admission, access: Identification options“. The portfolio will be rounded off by a further topic for the future: Thursday, 27 September, will be dedicated to smart homes and will focus on “Connected building, security in the buildings of the future “.

Attention-grabbing conference in the middle of trade fair events
The conference will flank Security Essen's even stronger orientation towards digital security. For the first time there will be a separate exhibition hall for this area, prominently located directly at the new East Entrance. The CyberSecurity Conference will also take place there. “This will give trade visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to obtain information close to the fair and right in the middle of the action. After all, the conference should bring them the best possible benefit. It is important to us that the presentations are user-related and that the audience
receives valuable suggestions,” explains Julia Jacob, Project Manager of the Security Essen.
The fair organizes the conference in cooperation with the BHE Federal Association of Security Technology and with the technical support of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). The lectures will be simultaneously translated into English. Interested parties can register in advance by 23 September at https://cyber-security-konferenz.ccessen.de/regform/. Registration is binding, but transferable at any time.
