Many organizations still treat IT security as a purely technical issue that belongs to the IT department.
As a result, responsibility is delegated, decisions are postponed, and risks quietly grow in the background.

In this talk, Jürgen Ebner explains why IT security is fundamentally a leadership responsibility, not an IT problem.
He shows how strategic decisions, priorities, and organizational culture have a much greater impact on security than any technical solution.

The session focuses on the role of executives and managers in shaping security awareness, accountability, and preparedness.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of what leadership responsibility in IT security really means – and how it can be embedded into everyday business decisions without technical complexity.
