Digital attacks no longer only affect corporations. Small and medium-sized companies are also increasingly under attack and the focus of new legal requirements. The good news is that those who are prepared can not only minimise risks, but also position themselves as a secure partner on the market.
In this panel talk, experts from the Hamburg@Work digital cluster from the fields of law, technology and business practice will show how SMEs can protect themselves effectively, realistically and with legal certainty - with concrete measures, clear prioritisation and real practical relevance.
It's not just about risks, but above all about solutions: How can I realistically protect my company from attacks? Which measures are worthwhile - technical, organisational, personnel? What do I need to consider in the event of an incident? And what does all this mean for my business - today and in the future?
The aim of the event is to provide orientation and recognise the necessary steps to better protect the company from cyber attacks. The event will be moderated by Jörg Uwe-Beyer.
