Description COOL November 2023 edition:

When computer networking was invented it certainly was not imaginable that one day more than a billion computers would be connected in wide area networks to each other and that, in theory, even a single offender could harm all of them. Therefore protection against attacks from network was not on the agenda for a long time. This has changed dramatically, and security is nowadays on the top of many agendas. However, taking care of security was often only considered by companies' good will, since legal regulations either did not exist or were not enforced. The overwhelming increase in security issues that has left to a noticeable impact on companies' revenues has alarmed legislation, particularly in the EU, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is about to enter into force. Since companies are threatened in case of non-compliance with fines in the amount of a considerable percentage of the turnover, already the draft of the CRA has evoked a lot of attention and long-time needed strategies to act in a responsible and appropriate way finally need to be implemented without delay. Therefore this COOL session wants to analyze the already known and expectable content of the draft and provide some first practical recommendations how to cope with it. In particular, the handling of Open Source software and the question of liability for it will be discussed.

Recommended audience COOL November 2023 edition:

Open Source officers, software developers and engineers, system integrators, employees of internal legal departments, external legal advisors, purchase department employees who deal with Open Source software, employees of QA departments, etc.

Right after his studies in the late 90s, he started entrepreneurship and specialized in various IT security topics until 2008, when he founded and led Greenbone, an IT security company entirely dedicated to vulnerability management solutions. Making Greenbone a market leader through the principles of transparency, openness and trust is driving him with the passion to turn technology into customer value.
