As a participant at the Swiss Cyber Security Days 2024 in Bern, I had the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts from the industry and immerse myself in the world of cyber security. The atmosphere at the conference was electrifying and the presentations and discussions shed light on the complex challenges we face.
The speakers emphasised time and again that cyber security is not just a technical matter. It is about our digital lifeline - the protection of our data, our privacy and our society.
Discussions with managers and IT managers were inspiring. We are all part of this digital world, and sharing experiences and best practices is invaluable.
The discussions about artificial intelligence and its challenges were also central. On the one hand, AI offers enormous opportunities, but on the other hand, we need to be aware of the potential risks. We need to use AI responsibly to avoid misuse.
To summarise: cybercrime affects us all, whether at work or at home - we are all potential targets. The SCSD has once again made me realise that education and caution are crucial. I leave with a heightened awareness of cyber security and a firm resolve to do my bit to make our digital world a safer place.
