This year we're bringing back the action right to the place where everything started: Heidelberg, Germany. We're thrilled to invite you to a week full of pure IT-Sec: There's a series of Workshops on Monday and Tuesday, the main conference in the middle of the week and on Friday we finish it up with Round Tables, where you'll get in close contact with international TROOPERS speakers.

22-23 April 2009, Munich - itsecurity & Troopers09

Troopers08 has been a huge success thanks to all attendees, speakers and sponsors.
So we're doing it again, but this year we teamed up with the itsecurity09 conference to deliver you an even more complete update on current and future security topics.

Troopers09 is an international IT-Security Conference on the 22nd and 23rd of April 2009 in Munich, Germany. Come and join us!

THE CONCEPT BEHIND TROOPERS:

Today, information is power - and sharing information is the multiplication of power. We experience an era where connectivity is not a feature anymore – it´s just there.

Technologically & socially everyone and everything is connected to anything & anyone, anytime. Given this, the ability to control who may collect, store, process and digest information is one of the key assets of every organisational unit, may it be .gov, .mil, .com, .org or a single private person.

But the benefits of today´s technologies also bring a wide range of attack vectors right into the core of our networks. The ever-changing attack strategies and methodologies make „traditional“ network-security concepts obsolete. This circumstance and the consequential need to master our profession led to our conference's credo:

  'get skilled or get owned'

 

WHO HOSTS THIS CON AND WHY?

Troopers09 is hosted by ERNW GmbH, an independent IT-Security consultancy from Heidelberg, Germany. In the past years, speakers from ERNW were invited all around the world to present their latest IT-Sec research results and to share their knowledge within the global hacking community. With this global experience in mind ERNW decided to launch an international conference in Germany in 2008. After last year's success of Troopers08 we're thrilled to do it again. Once more it's going to be an event unlike all other „Security Conferences“ we have seen in Germany so far: No product presentations, no marketing blabla, no bull*ht-bingo – just pure practical IT-Security. Real answers and practical benefits to meet today´s and tomorrows threats.

TROOPERS09 - WHAT IS IT?

Troopers09 is an international IT-Security Conference on the 22nd and 23rd of April 2009 in Munich, Germany. This event is created for CISOs, ISOs, IT-Auditors, IT-Sec-Admins, IT-Sec Consultants and everyone who is involved with IT-Security on a professional basis.
