VOICE Entscheiderforum 2025 – Your Event for Digital Strategies & Transformation

 

What can you expect?

The VOICE Entscheiderforum brings together IT and digital decision-makers from companies and public authorities to discuss the most pressing technological, organizational, and societal questions surrounding digitalization. The focus will include: artificial intelligence, talent in the digital age, cybersecurity, the future of IT, European digital policy, and a data-driven economy.

Particularly exciting: You will benefit from three key formats—the traditional conference, the Berlin Innovation Journey, and the VOICE Best Project Award.


Live on Stage: "AI and Cybersecurity: Between Myth and Reality – How Companies Can Counter the New Threats" (in German)

Speaker: Bernd Forstner

Date and Time: November 19 at 1:30 p.m.

Location: Bern Room

Abstract: AI has long since become a game changer on the attacker's side as well: AI enables not only professional groups but also less experienced attackers to carry out effective attacks – for example, through personalized phishing emails or automated vulnerability detection. Using examples, the presentation will demonstrate the dangers posed by AI-powered attacks and how companies must adapt their defense strategies. However, when properly trained and combined with human expertise, AI is not only part of the problem but also a key component in its solution.
