Cyber ​​security – close your eyes and get through it?

Volker Fett, project manager at the Transfer Office for Cyber ​​Security in SMEs, knows what is important when it comes to cyber security.

Volker Fett, project manager, Transfer Office for Cyber ​​Security in SMEs, will speak on October 16 and 17 at the third Digital Hotel Day (DHD) of the ahgz in Wolfsburg. He knows exactly what is important when it comes to cyber security.

When it comes to digitalization, cyber security and data protection, it plays a central role. The damage caused to companies in Germany by cyber attacks runs into the billions every year.

Cyber ​​security – close your eyes and get through it? For Volker Fett, project manager of the Cyber ​​Security Transfer Office for SMEs, it is clear: “That is not an option!” Because according to him, it is not a question of whether a company will be affected at some point, but only of whether it wants to be affected.

New law on cybersecurity and its consequences

On October 18, 2024, NIS-2, an EU-wide legislation on network and information security, will have legal validity for all German companies that fall under this directive.

Volker Fett explains what impact this law has on your company and what you need to consider at the Digital Hotel Day of ahgzIt also opens up perspectives on what can be done with and without a commitment to building cybersecurity.
