it-sa Expo&Congress presents the tenth edition of the Special Keynote on 24 October.
It will be held by Peter Hacker, an expert in cyber security.
In an exclusive interview, he will offer initial insights into the growing risks and geopolitical challenges in the digital age. Topics such as artificial intelligence, resilience and the importance of cybersecurity at top management level will take centre stage. Hacker shares his global experience and provides valuable insights into the future of cyber risks and security.
Entrepreneur and author Peter Hacker is a globally recognised expert on digital transformation, cybercrime and cybersecurity. He is the founder and managing director of Distinction.global, an independent, globally operating think tank for cyber security and risk transfer in Switzerland. Through his position, he is directly involved in the perception of cyber risks at the highest management level. His expertise is sought after by companies, international and regional organisations, regulatory authorities and rating agencies. In the special keynote, Hacker will take a look at the status quo and analyse the developments on the horizon that are of great importance for states, companies and society.
Hacker talks about these topics in his special keynote in an interview:
- Cyber risks: Managers are increasingly recognising cyber risks as a risk. Peter Hacker emphasises the need to increasingly view cyber security as an investment in the protection of intangible assets such as intellectual property, brand reputation and company value. People, awareness and cyber resilience are essential here.
- Geopolitical challenges: Increasing tensions between superpowers and global conflicts are leading to new attack trends and increased hacktivism.
- Artificial intelligence: AI technologies offer both opportunities and risks. They can recognise attack patterns more quickly and improve defence strategies but can also be used by attackers to develop malware and attack vectors.
