The 38th Chaos Communication Congress (38C3), which took place at the Congress Center Hamburg (CCH) from December 27 to 30, 2024, attracted technology enthusiasts, hackers and IT security professionals from all over the world. Organized by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), the event offered a unique platform to discuss current trends and challenges in the digital world. SECUINFRA was there with five colleagues to benefit from the wide range of presentations, workshops and networking opportunities.
IT security trends in focus: insights from exciting presentations
One of the highlights of 38C3 was the diverse program of presentations. Our colleagues took part in sessions on highly relevant cyber security topics, including securing critical infrastructures, new attack techniques and innovative defense strategies. Presentations that went beyond technical details and raised social issues around technology and data protection were also particularly exciting. This mix of technical depth and visionary approaches is a hallmark of the congress and a valuable input for our work at SECUINFRA.
Strengthening the network: Exchange with the IT security community
The intensive exchange with the IT security scene was another central aspect of participation. The 38C3 is more than just a conference – it is a meeting place for the global hacker and security community. Our colleagues took the opportunity to exchange ideas with leading experts, innovators and like-minded people. They not only discussed technical issues, but also made valuable contacts that could facilitate future collaborations.
Teamwork and fresh ideas: Together at 38C3
In addition to the official program, having dinner with colleagues from SECUINFRA was also an important element of the trip. The evenings provided space for personal discussions, reflections on the impressions of the day and strengthening team cohesion. Such informal meetings create an atmosphere that promotes creativity and innovation – a valuable basis for translating the congress experience into concrete projects.
Practical impulses: From the congress to everyday work
Taking part in 38C3 not only provided our colleagues with new food for thought, but also concrete solutions for their work. Whether technical innovations, strategic security approaches or dealing with social challenges – the knowledge gained will flow directly into SECUINFRA’s projects and further strengthen our expertise.
Conclusion
From exciting presentations and valuable exchanges with the IT security community to inspiring team moments, the event was enriching on all levels. We are looking forward to the next Chaos Communication Congress and the many new impulses it will have in store for us.
