DACHsec Cyber Summit 2024 | QG Media | 9 April 2024 | Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt, Unterschweinstiege 16, 60549 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

The DACH region has become the centre for European cyber security in recent years, in large part due to the region’s rich history in combining new digital technologies with industrial ingenuity, all while maintaining a strong focus on security and data protection.

In contrast, we are in the midst of a continental shake up in cyber security. There is a dire shortage of cyber security specialists, driving up labour costs. Rising geopolitical tensions are emboldening state-backed malicious actors. AI automation and other emerging technologies are continually uprooting long-standing industry norms. EU regulation and legal noise continue to push for higher and higher security standards, all while an economic downturn leaves resources stretched thin.

Despite increasing cyber awareness, there is still a shortage of good cyber hygiene. Supply chains lack cohesion and third-party risk leaves chinks in the cyber armour. Implementation of zero-trust and incident response plans also continue to lag behind.
