Cyber attacks are often detected only after the damage is done. Hackers’ increasing sophistication is on the agenda at the Cyber Security Summit, which is taking place in Silicon Valley for the first time.
On September 19 and 20, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) and German telecoms giant Deutsche Telekom host the fourth Cyber Security Summit. This year’s event is the first to take place in Silicon Valley. Around 100 high-ranking representatives from science, politics, business and the military will discuss the current challenges in cyberspace at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
The topics include defense against cyber attacks, the future of warfare, the development of standards and rules for cyberspace, the fight against cyber-terrorism and the economic importance of cyber security. Ahead of the event, DW spoke to Thomas Kremer, member of the board of management for data privacy, legal affairs and compliance at Deutsche Telekom AG.
