Cyber Circle Meetup
In 2026, the cyber circle Meetup brought together people and enthusiasts from the IT security field once a quarter at Mediapark in Cologne to discuss the latest developments and topics and to learn from one another. The event focused on issues that are currently of equal concern to both the private and public sectors: the practice of security audits, the use of AI in management, the technical implementation of the CRA, and the question of what opportunities AI already offers attackers today. Four short technical presentations kicked off the event.
Venue
FOC took place on september 24 at Carmasec GmbH & Co. KG, Startplatz in the Mediapark Cologne.
Intro
Jan Sudmeyer and Timm Börgers, both Managing Partner of Carmasec, opened the event and welcomed the approximately two dozen attendees and speakers that evening.
