As in previous years, some countries will present the expertise of their domestic security sector at joint stands. Israel will be present for the third time with a national pavilion, while the Netherlands will make its debut in Nuremberg. In addition, the trade fair is confident that it can win over another country in the Czech Republic.
But not only the exhibitors and their solutions should attract visitors to Nuremberg, but also the extensive congress programme. On five stages security experts will inform and stimulate discussions. On the third day of the fair, the renowned Polish security expert Paula Januszkiewicz will give a special keynote speech entitled "Attacks of the Industry: A View into the Future of Cybersecurity".
In addition to the IT-Grundschutztag and the annual conference of IT security officers, the international symposium VIS!T will take place for the first time parallel to it-sa and will deal with the special security challenges in administration. On Monday, the day before the fair, the "UP18@it-sa" prize will also be awarded by the Digital Hub Cybersecurity, the Bavarian IT Security Cluster and it-sa. 18 startups will compete for the audience's favor in a pitch.
