One of the experts called upon by these institutions was among the speakers at this IT theme night.<\/p>\n<p>The following presentations were given:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Omnipresence of Harmful Viruses and Botnets<\/strong> <br \/><em>Dr. Christian Rossow, Leader of the Group \u201cSystem Security\u201d at the Excellence Cluster, Saarland University<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Has your PC or smartphone ever been hit with a virus? Computer viruses and other programs have already made it into our living rooms. The research group of Dr. Christian Rossow analyzes the status quo of malicious software and investigates effective countermeasures. As part of the work, the researchers were involved in an attack on a botnet under the guidance of the FBI. This lecture examines the theme of malware in various facets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Point of Entry: Human and Operating System<\/strong> <br \/><em>Stefan N\u00fcrnberger, Center for IT-Security, Privacy and Accountability (CISPA), Saarland University<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Humans are still ultimately responsible for letting in malicious software. But isn\u2019t it also a task of technology to help people prevent this? In his lecture, Stefan N\u00fcrnberger reveals current, often intelligent, entry points for attackers, and shows the deficiencies of current (operating) systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Practical Experience: IT Security in Industrial Production<\/strong> <br \/><em>J\u00f6rg Aud\u00f6rsch, CIO of Steelwind Nordenham GmbH, a subsidiary of the AG der Dillinger H\u00fcttenwerke<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The exchange of experiences shows the challenges of implementing IT security in business.
