Speaker #1:
Benjamin Böhl, Teamlead Security ISB @SysEleven
Topic: Securing reliable infrastructures - an inside in the work of a cloudinfrastructure security team
Cloud providers are critical infrastructure consisting of hundreds of interlinked services, whose functionality must be ensured by an equally complex security architecture. The challenge rarely lies in the necessary technology, but rather in building a set of processes that monitors and secures everything while simultaneously preserving the freedom for innovation. In this session, I will provide insights into the workings and processes of a security team that accomplishes this day in and day out. We will examine the greatest challenges in a constantly evolving environment.
Speaker #2:
Benjamin Zibaeeyan, Security Coordinator & Crew Lead @Port Zero GmbH
Topic: Mastering the Art of Cyber Crisis Management
Imagine receiving a call at 2 AM—your company's servers have been encrypted. This is every business owner's worst nightmare. But what actually happens next?
Join us for an eye-opening workshop where we'll guide you through a practical walkthrough of the incident response lifecycle, tailored specifically for the challenges we face in 2026. From the moment of the initial notification to the final stages of recovery, we cover it all.
During this session, we’ll provide insights into the seamless coordination needed between technical teams, legal experts, and management. We'll also tackle the complex issue of data exfiltration and offer an insider look at Port Zero’s methodology for containing active threats.
Learn how to implement proactive measures to not only respond to threats but also build organizational resilience. Don't miss this opportunity to prepare and protect your business from the unforeseen challenges of today's digital landscape.
Speaker #3:
Marko Frankenstein, Systems Engineer Public @Fortinet
Topic: Why i burn for Cyber Security – maybe you will too
In this session you will learn, why IT/Cyber Security matters, facts you may not be aware of and why this is not just for Nerds.
In 2012 I made a deliberate pivot into IT — and by 2016, Cyber Security had me hooked for good. I've worked my way from consulting, project planning and implementation in the public sector all the way to my current role as a Systems Engineer at Fortinet, where I help organizations build a more secure digital world. What sets me apart: I don't just speak firewall or security software. I speak ISO 27001 and IT-Grundschutz too — bridging the gap between technical security and governance. That combination is what I bring to every customer engagement.
Because we don't want you to waste your time!
