The Smart Country Convention was a great success

THE LEADING CONGRESS TRADE FAIR FOR E-GOVERNMENT,
SMART CITY & SMART REGION!

We were at SCCON again this year at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds.

The Smart Country Convention was a good opportunity to get to know each other, to network, and to grill us about cybersecurity.

Michael Bartsch spontaneously stepped in for the panel on cybersecurity for municipalities. Where are the weaknesses in cybersecurity at the municipal level? Manuel Atug (Hi Solutions), Prof. Dr. Katja Andresen (Cyber Agency), Jürgen Keitel (Dassault Systems), Stephan Ursuleac (Bitkom- Security and Defence Contact) and our Managing Director Michael Bartsch to get to the bottom of it.

Michael Bartsch's contribution on this topic: If a municipality suffers a cyber-attack, you don't put out a tender for the crisis. You need to ensure that you are prepared for it. This market must be served with standards, with consolidated solutions. This confusion needs to be brought into structure and, above all, attention must be paid to what constitutes a disrupted business operation for a municipality. That is what hackers do. Destroy business operations. And that's what you have to prepare for.
