What makes secIT special<\/h2>\n
secIT is not a trade fair, but a training event. The speakers mainly come from the Heise editorial team (c’t, iX, heise Security) and from security practice. The focus is on knowledge that can be applied the next day.<\/p>\n
Typical topics: Windows hardening, Active Directory security, incident\u2011response fundamentals, cloud security configuration, network monitoring with open\u2011source tools. Less strategy, more hands\u2011on.<\/p>\n
