"The quantity and quality of cybercrimes have been increasing drastically for years: Crime is shifting further and further into the digital space. Effective protection therefore requires a triad of preventive and repressive measures by the police, preventive IT security precautions and sufficient sensitisation of citizens and companies to the dangers from cyberspace."

"In the context of economic protection, we are repeatedly confronted with outdated systems that have avoidable vulnerabilities. Investments in structured security management, which must take place digitally as well as analogue, are therefore elementarily important."

"Cybersecurity cannot be achieved in isolation. We can only achieve greater security through coordinated and joint action. It is a task for society as a whole. At our conference, we would like to discuss the pressing issues in the field of cyber security with important stakeholders and provide impulses for the political debate."
