Security by Culture - Why Awareness Matters More Than Tools

Despite billions invested in cutting-edge security technologies, 95% of all successful cyberattacks begin with human error. Recent incidents at prominent companies dramatically demonstrate that even the best tools reach their limits when the real vulnerability, the human factor, isn't addressed.

In this talk, you'll learn why building a culture and awareness for security is essential and how you can make it happen. One thing is clear, this doesn't happen overnight, and certainly not by hanging a few colorful posters with clever slogans on the wall.

Let's live security together instead of just talking about it, make tomorrow's applications more secure, and turn the human factor into the strongest line of defense.

Safely through the dependency minefield using OWASP Dependency Track

Fortunately, security in software development is becoming more and more of a central issue. But with increasing complexity of our software and attacks on it, it is getting more important to keep an eye on all dependencies. The OWASP Dependency-Track tool offers a simple and effective solution for exactly this.

In this talk I will show you the benefits of Dependency-Track and you will learn how to use it to identify and avoid risks as well as how easy it is to integrate it into your build pipeline. Another important aspect is the monitoring of the used open source licenses, because here too it is easy to fall into one or two license traps.

Are you ready to discover the power of Dependency Track?

MFA? Game over! Watch your protection collapse – live

In einer digitalen Welt, in der Passwörter und Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung als uneinnehmbare Schutzwälle gelten, sieht die Realität ganz anders aus. Jeden Monat finden Millionen von Angriffen statt, die genau diese Schutzmechanismen umgehen. Dennoch glauben viele weiterhin, dass MFA vollständige Sicherheit garantiert.
In diesem Vortrag demonstriere ich live, wie mühelos Passwörter abgegriffen und MFA-Mechanismen ausgehebelt werden können. Und dabei ist das Ganze kostenlos, lässt sich in wenigen Minuten aufsetzen und durchführen und wird durch den Einsatz von KI noch einfacher. Dabei zeige ich, dass die größte Schwachstelle oft nicht die Technik selbst ist, sondern das Vertrauen, das wir ihr entgegenbringen.
Trotzdem gibt es Lösungen. Wenn technologische Fortschritte und menschliche Wachsamkeit richtig zusammenspielen, wird der Spielraum für Angreifer:innen deutlich kleiner.
