From Cyberattack to Existential Crisis: 72 Hours That Decide Your Company’s Fate


A cyberattack is not an IT problem. It is an organizational crisis.


In 2026, cyberattacks are the new normal. The critical question is no longer how to prevent them but how an organization operates under attack. The first 72 hours can determine whether a company stays in control or spirals into chaos. This session explores how to build cyber crisis resilience through clear roles, decisive structures, and robust decision-making under pressure.

AI Is Already Here.

Who’s in Control?
AI is already embedded across organizations. The question is no longer whether to adopt it, but how to govern its rapid growth. As use cases, agents, and tools multiply, limited transparency and unclear responsibilities can lead to compliance gaps, shadow AI, and rising costs.


This session provides a practical perspective on why visibility, ownership, and governance are essential foundations for scaling AI and explores the challenges organizations must address along the way. The goal is to combine innovation with robust governance, enabling AI to scale securely, sustainably, and with measurable business value.

ABOUT THE SERIES


The Cybersecurity Meetup Munich is a vibrant community of security professionals and enthusiasts who regularly come together to discuss current and relevant cybersecurity topics.


Almost every month, the group meets in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, hosted by a member of the Security Network Munich (SNM) or a partner organization. The format is straightforward: an inspiring talk or discussion, followed by open exchange over food and drinks.


The focus is on practical insights rather than theory — real food for thought you can apply directly to your day-to-day security work.
