Cloud security, AI security and their impact on corporate strategies
Cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are shaping the business world like never before. Companies of all sizes and in all industries are relying on these technologies to remain competitive – but with great opportunities come great challenges. At the Global Cyber Conference 2024, everything revolves around the question: How do you secure your company in a world that is increasingly dominated by the cloud and AI?
Cloud security has long been more than just a technical issue. It has become a strategic necessity. Whether it’s the secure storage of sensitive data or the scalability of business processes, protecting cloud infrastructures is crucial to a company’s success today. At the conference, you will learn from leading experts how you can not only minimize risks, but also use the cloud as a driver for your digital transformation.
At the same time, the rapid development of AI offers immense opportunities, but also completely new areas of attack. How can companies exploit the potential of AI without jeopardizing their security? This question will be explored in depth at the Global Cyber Conference. Here you will receive practical solutions and learn how you can prepare today for the security requirements of tomorrow.
