I was at the biggest German Security Expo and Congress it-sa last week. One of the highlights was definitely the speech of Edward Snowden (German report) in particular because the European Court of Justice declared Safe Harbor invalid two days earlier. I had a presentation about the OWASP Top 10 Privacy Risks and gave a radio interview for Deutschlandfunk about the importance of a holistic approach for information security. Furthermore heise TechConsult published an interesting study with 5 Steps for IT Security (in German) and recommends companies to spend 1% of their turnover for information security.
