Rethinking Cyber Security on 17 September in Osnabrück
When systems suddenly fail, data is encrypted or production facilities come to a standstill, it is often the result of a cyber attack. What for a long time mainly affected large corporations is now a reality for businesses of all sizes. As digitalisation increases, so do the risks – and with them the need for guidance and dialogue. This is precisely where the German IT Security Congress 2026 comes in.
Cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex
The threat landscape has become significantly more severe in recent years. Attacks are becoming increasingly professional, automated and targeted. At the same time, technologies such as artificial intelligence are now also being deliberately exploited by attackers. Deceptively realistic phishing emails, automated ransomware campaigns and deepfakes are no longer the exception, but are now an integral part of cybercrime.
At the same time, companies are increasingly digitising their business processes, interconnecting systems and using cloud services. This development drives efficiency and innovation, but also opens up new vulnerabilities. Cyber security must therefore be viewed holistically today.
Many companies face the challenge of keeping pace with the speed at which threats evolve. Cyber security is no longer merely a technical challenge. It is also an economic risk factor, a political issue and, not least, an ethical responsibility.
A purely reactive approach to cyber attacks is therefore no longer sufficient. What is needed are strategic security concepts, clearly defined responsibilities and protective measures that are continuously refined and adapted to new threat scenarios.
The German IT Security Congress 2026
The German IT Security Congress 2026 offers the perfect platform for precisely this. On 17 September 2026, IT decision-makers, international vendors and leading speakers will gather at the OsnabrückHalle to discuss the latest developments and strategies in the field of cyber security. Keynotes, panels and workshops will focus on topics such as information security and governance, AI-based threats and modern defence mechanisms, secure cloud strategies, as well as managed security services and operations. In this way, the congress takes a holistic approach to cyber security, combining strategic security concepts, technological innovations and application-oriented solutions.
In addition to technical insights, the congress places particular emphasis on the exchange between practical experience and expert knowledge. Open discussions, case studies from real-world projects and a varied supporting programme create opportunities for networking and new perspectives.
On 17 September 2026, the Osnabrück-based IT service provider pco GmbH & Co. KG invites you to the German IT Security Congress at the OsnabrückHalle. From 09:00 to 18:00, the focus will be on cyber security, AI and the IT of the future. Attendance is free of charge.
