Keynote:
"Cybersicherheitsland Hessen"
Cybersecurity is a collective responsibility that requires cross-sector collaboration—between government, industry, and academia, as well as across federal levels. Looking beyond the boundaries of state administration is therefore a key success factor for establishing “Hesse as a Cybersecurity State.”
Ralf Stettner – CISO of the Hessian state administration and Head of the Department for Information and Cybersecurity, Digitalization at the Hessian Ministry of the Interior, Security and Homeland – provides insights into the current threat landscape and outlines new, sometimes unconventional approaches to strengthening overall governmental cyber resilience.
