For this purpose, IT-Defense lecturers serve as moderators; however, it is also possible to form individual groups on specific subjects.<br><br>Simultaneous round-table discussions will be available on Friday, January 29, 2026.<br><br><strong>Kittens War &#8211; Iran\u2019s Cyberwar and Its Consequences for the West &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/it-defense.de\/it-defense-2027\/en\/presentators\/449\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/it-defense.de\/it-defense-2027\/en\/presentators\/449\/\">Volker Kozok<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The round table provides insight into Iran\u2019s hybrid warfare and highlights the close cooperation between Iranian authorities and cybercrime groups known to as \u201cKitten\u201d. Examples are used to explain the attackers\u2019 methods and describe the malware they use. Due to their ties to Israel and the United States and the large Iranian exile community, German companies and government agencies are targeted by Iranian attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Between Liability and Hacker Defense: Mine Clearance for Admins \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/it-defense.de\/it-defense-2027\/en\/presentators\/dr-christoph-wegener\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/it-defense.de\/it-defense-2027\/en\/presentators\/dr-christoph-wegener\/\">Dr. Christoph Wegener<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/it-defense.de\/it-defense-2027\/en\/presentators\/joerg-heidrich\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/it-defense.de\/it-defense-2027\/en\/presentators\/joerg-heidrich\/\">Joerg Heidrich<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admins defend their systems against attackers, but the real danger sometimes comes from the legal department. Immutable backups reliably block ransomware \u2013 but unfortunately, they also block the GDPR\u2019s right to erasure. Logging based on the \u201cstore until the disk is full\u201d principle delights forensic experts and eventually the supervisory authority as well. And anyone who launches one too many tools during a system analysis will find themselves on the verge of violating hacker-related laws faster than they would like. A security practitioner and an attorney specializing in IT law guide you through the areas of conflict in day-to-day operations. Topics include BYOD, where the company mobile phone suddenly becomes a private matter, and instructions from management that you would rather have in writing. Add to that employee monitoring, the shared root password as a compliance violation and the question of how much AI IT operations can tolerate before the data protection officer raises an eyebrow. Using real-life cases and recent court rulings, the two demonstrate how security and the law fit together. They also explain why thorough documentation is the most affordable liability insurance an admin can get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Round Tables When it comes to a specialist conference, it is not only the lecturers&#8217; quality that matters but it is also important to exchange experiences with other participants who are in similar positions&nbsp; and deal with similar issues.
