Part of the 3-day programme was the ‘Dutch-German Forum on IT Security in the Industry’, where the importance of IT security for the industry sector, cooperation between The Netherlands and Germany and the development of common approach were key. The King and Queen were special guest at this forum where several showcases were presented e.g. on interbancaire security by HSD partner Onegini and on IT security in robotica by HSD partner Authasas.
