Cyber Security Conference
Also Held
Cyber warfare and espionage are inextricably
linked to
imperialist war and aggression and inter-monopoly competition
today. Thus, the fifth annual Munich Cyber Security Conference
(MCSC)
took place February 14, the day before the Munich Security
Conference began. Held under the theme "Security
Meltdown -- Paradigm Shift Needed," its focus was cyber
security for private interests and monopolies.
A February 6 press release informed that some 200
"international decision-makers from politics, business and
science" would take part to discuss "new cyber security practices
and security strategies in a changing threat landscape."
"We need a paradigm shift in our security
thinking.
At the MCSC, we want to discuss with
representatives of the various industries how to deal effectively
with
the growing and complex cyber risks,
while minimizing the vulnerability of business to malfunctioning
IT
systems and digital threats," said Dr. Walter
Schlebusch, head of the Munich Security Network, in the days
leading up to the conference.
The MCSC says that "the pressure to act is
evident in
the
worldwide dramatic increase in cyber attacks and cyber crime,
which cause billions of euros in damages, and endanger the
further
digitization of the economy and society. But investing in
more security alone is not enough. Dealing with today's cyber
risks requires new thinking and management approaches, which will
be
discussed at the MCSC."
The conference program said that its proceedings
included several
panel
discussions. The focus was to include addressing the following
questions: What role does the human factor play in cyber
security? What are the impact and benefits of new technologies on
cyber security? Can more safety and information transparency be
achieved in the use and exploitation of data? Can integrated risk
management promote more cyber resilience and new management
approaches in organizations?
