Security Day by Astaro

IT-Security is important – in that everybody is agreed. Whether privately or in professional life. One of the biggest problems concerning security is the conviction of users, nothing will happen to them. That’s a fallacy because in truth something goes wrong more often as they believe.

First priority from there is: prevention. At Security Day at LinuxTag visitors learn everything about security and potential security holes.
