Legal Aspects of Cybersecurity – Presentation at the IT Security Day in Castrop-Rauxel on October 1, 26

For businesses, cybersecurity has long since ceased to be solely a technical challenge. It also involves significant legal and organizational requirements. Issues such as liability, prevention, contractual safeguards, and the proper course of action in the event of a cyberattack play a central role in this context.

At the IT Security Day in Castrop-Rauxel on October 1, 2026, attorney Michael Ullrich will speak at 9:50 a.m. on the topic:

"Legal Aspects of Cybersecurity—Tips for Businesses"

Michael Ullrich has been advising companies for many years at the intersection of IT law, data protection law, and corporate IT organization. A key focus of his work is providing legal support for digital business processes, drafting and reviewing IT contracts, and advising on data protection and organizational requirements related to IT security and cyber incidents.

The presentation focuses in particular on the legal requirements companies must observe in the area of cybersecurity, how responsibilities can be sensibly assigned, and what legal measures may be necessary or advisable in the event of a cyberattack. The goal is to provide a practical overview of the key legal risk areas and to offer companies concrete guidance on prevention and response.

IT Security Day is aimed at companies in the region and offers an opportunity for professional discussion about current challenges in IT and cybersecurity.
