The ITCS after-party starts at 4pm with a DJ, drinks and snacks.
In keeping with the motto "come as you are", you won't be finding many in a suit and tie at the ITCS!
When we open computer science books or follow tech conferences, we mainly encounter men. Men who have invented things, who explain technology or who act as experts. At the same time, we keep hearing: "We need female role models in the tech sector! Women need to be more daring, take centre stage, be louder!" But is that really what needs to happen?
In her talk, Lea Schönberger shows why the way we talk about tech and the history of technology is problematic. She talks about women who have made important contributions but are largely unknown and explains how she wants to create space for the stories of female computer scientists of yesterday and today with her podcast "Computer Science for the Modern Housewife".
Advancing digitalisation opens up opportunities - but it also significantly increases the risks in the area of cyber security. In this presentation, you will gain a practical insight into how you can confidently deal with requirements such as NIS2, CER and CRA and combine security, innovation and compliance - from HUAWEI's perspective.
Digital independence begins with open decisions. Open source software and software made in Germany are a strategic instrument on the path to technological self-determination for companies, the state and society. Cybersecurity, data protection and data security form the foundation.
Artificial intelligence is not only revolutionising the IT landscape - it is also opening up an exciting new chapter in cyber security! Companies are using AI systems to increase their efficiency and security. But with great power comes great responsibility: AI models are the new Eldorado for cyber criminals who are constantly on the lookout for the next big challenge.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of AI security!
Ralf Schneider shows you the threat landscape of the future. Experience first-hand how attack methods are evolving at breathtaking speed - from sophisticated prompt injections to sophisticated model poisoning.
Be one step ahead of the regulations! The EU AI Act heralds a new era of AI accountability. Use this opportunity to make your AI applications not only safer, but also more competitive.
Discover the future of AI penetration testing!
Forget everything you know about conventional security measures. AI penetration testing is the key to putting your AI systems on a secure footing. Find vulnerabilities before the attackers do and secure your AI.
New regulations, constantly changing standards, terms such as "OCPP", "calibration law" or "AFIR": at first glance, modern tech industries - such as e-mobility - seem like a jungle of standards, obligations and complex technology. Of course, the industry is young, dynamic and anything but static. If you want to help shape it, you have to stay agile. Change doesn't happen on its own!
But doesn't the opportunity perhaps outweigh the challenge? The presentation shows why change does not necessarily have to be unsettling - but can also be the key to gaining a foothold in a growing market and helping to shape it.
An invitation to all those with a desire for change - and to a topic that has long had a firm grip on the future of green energy.
Can artificial intelligence save the oceans? In this inspiring talk, Tharaka Sriram shows how AI is being used worldwide for marine conservation, including in marine protected areas - from monitoring illegal fishing to saving coral reefs. A journey into the depths of technology and into a future where AI is at the side of marine life so that they can live in freedom and safety.
Possible applications and special features of the use of AI in the Bundeswehr
Backups are often the last line of defence against data loss and cyberattacks - but what if these very lifelines themselves are compromised? In this presentation, you will learn how modern security strategies such as immutable backups, segregation of duties and integrity checks make your backup truly untouchable. Learn what it takes to not only have your backup, but also to be able to trust it.
Modern IT depends on strong, secure networks! In order to provide end users worldwide with innovative cloud services and business applications, you need a powerful infrastructure and networking that sets standards.
In her presentation, you will learn more about how nicos uses state-of-the-art technologies from leading manufacturers such as Cisco and Fortinet to realise seamless end-to-end access for their customers - supported by intelligent, AI-supported monitoring that allows them to keep an eye on everything.
Low-code/no-code platforms enable companies to drive digital innovations faster and more efficiently - but how can they be successfully introduced?
Using a best-practice example of the effective use of the Microsoft Power Platform at BMW, CONET shows how a strategic governance structure and targeted enablement programmes promote the development of business-relevant applications by citizen developers and at the same time how CONET Power Platform experts actively support BMW in the implementation of complex applications.
The presentation provides practical insights into the introduction of a low-code/no-code platform and gives decision-makers from IT and specialist departments valuable impetus to utilise the full potential of this technology in their company.
Experience current industry topics in a practical way and learn from leading experts - this is exactly what the masterclasses offer. The format goes beyond a conventional presentation. In practice-orientated sessions, you can discover innovative solutions, make valuable contacts and gain directly applicable insights.
