Keynote: CYBER! Please Check All Boxes Before You Get Pwned

Corporate security teams worldwide are drowning in cover-your-ass checklists, keeping them from building real defenses against real threats.

Attackers thrive in exactly these gaps — that’s why the same attack trends remain successful for years and even decades. Ransomware is just the most visible symptom of a severely misguided security paradigm.

But don’t despair — salvation is at hand!

The CRA and DORA are the regulations that will finally fix all other regulations — by mandating a holistic understanding of your risks and ensuring that everyone can now officially cover their bases the proper way.

Meanwhile, under the banners of fighting terrorism or child abuse, the security of the public’s communication infrastructure is under constant political attack.

Proposals such as AI “snitches” built into phones keep haunting the EU legislative process — despite years of clear opposition from every credible expert out there.

There are so many self-proclaimed “solutions” that we’ve long lost sight of the actual problems.

Do we even want to address them?

If so, then let’s re-focus — and get things done.
