DriveLock at it-sa 2024: A review of exciting days in Nuremberg

The it-sa trade fair in Nuremberg, Europe's largest trade fair for IT security, took place from October 22 to 24, 2024 and once again provided a first-class platform to present the latest trends and solutions in the field of cybersecurity. DriveLock was there to give customers and partners an insight into the latest DriveLock features and product developments and to engage in dialog about current and future challenges in IT security.

During the three intensive days, we held numerous interesting discussions with customers, partners and interested parties. The direct exchange offered us exciting insights into the specific requirements and challenges of our target groups. In particular, the opportunity to address individual security needs in detail strengthened the connection with our partners and provided valuable input for the further development of our solutions.

A. Increasing demand for modern solutions

In view of the constantly changing threat landscape, it-sa visitors were increasingly faced with the challenge of making their systems more resistant to cyber attacks. It-sa therefore served not only as a marketplace for products, but above all as a place for problem-solving and strategic advice.

The clear demand from visitors was particularly striking. The high demand for concrete security solutions and best practices underlined the growing importance of cybersecurity for companies. Visitors came with clear ideas and concerns, which led to productive discussions and a constructive atmosphere.

B. DriveLock at it-sa 2024

The motto 'Better Together' was omnipresent as the interaction with our co-exhibitors and partners at the show was very warm and supportive. The cooperation with the other co-exhibitors ASOFTNET, MAXXYS and OFF LIMITS IT Service enabled us to make optimal use of synergies and contribute to strengthening the IT security landscape together. We look back with gratitude on the partnership-based support and inspiring collaboration.

Another highlight of it-sa 2024 was the presentation of the Channel Partner Award, which honored particularly committed and successful partners. This recognition underlined the importance of cooperation for the development of the industry. DriveLock congratulates all award winners and is proud to have a network of such competent partners at its side.

Our prepared live hacking sessions attracted numerous visitors who wanted to experience first-hand how real security threats can penetrate IT systems. The practical demonstrations highlighted the threats and provided valuable tips on how to prevent such attacks in the future. The live hacks impressively demonstrated the importance of good preparation and training in the area of cyber security.

Our power speeches and presentations in the it-sa Forum were met with great interest and offered participants valuable insights into current developments and innovations.

C. Summary

it-sa 2024 was a complete success for DriveLock. Exciting discussions, valuable insights and inspiring collaboration with partners and co-exhibitors made the event an unforgettable experience. The exchange and the awards underline the importance of networking in cybersecurity. We would like to thank all participants and look forward to the next steps in strengthening IT security together.

D. Joining forces for IT security know-how

In the world of IT security, continuous training is crucial to counter current threats. Those responsible must constantly update their knowledge and actively network. With events such as it-sa and secIT, Nürnberg Messe and Heise Medien offer a platform that combines professional depth and valuable synergies.

We are already looking forward to the next it-sa, which will take place in Nuremberg from October 7 to 9, 2025 and once again promises to be a unique platform for IT security solutions and innovations. In advance, we look forward to welcoming you to secIT by Heise on March 19 and 20, 2025 in Hanover. As part of an event partnership, the two IT security trade fairs it-sa Expo&Congress and secIT by Heise are working closely together to further promote professional exchange and networking within the industry.
