Action description

Cyber security is not just a technical challenge today, but a task for society as a whole. Increasing networking affects all areas of life - from companies and government institutions to private households. Cyber threats are omnipresent and affect us all. In the keynote speech "Shaping cyber security together", Claudia Plattner, President of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), explains the importance of a cooperative approach to sustainably strengthening cyber security in Germany. The strategic goals of Cybernation Germany form the foundation for a security strategy that unites the state, economy and society.
This addresses the challenges that Germany will face in the coming years. A central focus is on the European Union's new NIS-2 directive, which brings with it new regulatory requirements for companies and institutions in Germany. The NIS-2 directive aims to harmonize the level of cyber security in the EU and protect critical infrastructures. Around 30,000 companies in Germany have to review and adapt their security measures.
The keynote will provide an overview of the status of the NIS-2 Directive and explain what requirements companies will face. The BSI's assistance offers will also be presented, including the NIS-2 impact assessment and the NIS-2 FAQ. These offers help companies to prepare for the new regulations and to take action in good time.
The keynote emphasizes that cybersecurity cannot be guaranteed by technical measures or legal requirements alone. Cybersecurity must be understood as a collaborative process in which all actors - from large companies to citizens - actively participate. Strengthening cyber resilience is crucial in order to be prepared not only for current but also future threats.
An important tool for promoting cyber resilience is IT-Grundschutz, a tried and tested concept from the BSI that is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. IT-Grundschutz offers companies practical recommendations for action to systematically secure their IT systems. Just in time for the anniversary, the new version of IT-Grundschutz++ is being presented. This version takes into account the requirements of the digitalized working world and offers agile and flexible methods to prepare companies individually for their security needs.
In her keynote, Claudia Plattner will discuss the innovations in IT-Grundschutz++ and explain how companies can use them to strengthen their cyber resilience. She will address the need to continuously adapt security measures as the threat situation is constantly changing. IT-Grundschutz++ offers the flexibility to respond quickly to new threats and optimize security strategies.
The keynote makes a clear appeal to all actors: Cyber security is a joint task that can only be mastered through close cooperation between the state, business and society. Every individual, whether company, institution or citizen, bears responsibility for digital security. Only through joint action can Germany's digital sovereignty be strengthened and protected from the diverse threats of the digital world.
The keynote not only provides an overview of the current challenges of cybersecurity, but also shows concrete solutions on how these challenges can be overcome collectively – for a secure, resilient and future-proof digital society.
