TOBIAS SCHROEDEL's Biography

Tobias Schroedel - "Germany's first IT comedian"! This is how the established computer magazine CHIP once described the proven IT specialist, computer expert and traveling lecturer on hacking. Schroedel has an inimitable gift for revealing technical security loopholes and the abysses of complex IT systems in a way is easy to understand, even for for laypeople. Tobias Schroedels unmistakable trademark, however, is that he never fails to have fun - his entertaining lectures, which are peppered with aha moments, are full of mischief in every bit and byte. (His Wikipedia entry with further information is here.) Tobias Schroedel is a trained IT specialist and developed IT solutions in the enterprise business sector for a US company before spending many years developing IT security solutions and working as a consultant at T-Systems. He is a certified trainer for IT specialists and has been conducting examinations for this profession for the Chamber of Commerce in Munich for over two decades. Tobias received his first computer as a present at Christmas 1982 at the age of eleven: a Sinclair Spectrum 48k. A short time later, he wrote his first programs in BASIC. This was followed by an Atari ST, a Commodore 64 and, at the age of 18, the first MS DOS PC. After graduating from high school and completing his civilian service, Schrödel began studying economics at the LMU Munich, which he quickly dropped out of. Instead of becoming an accountant, he preferred to network the university's PC lab. MEDIA Tobias became known to a large audience through the RTL program "stern TV", where he has been explaining the latest cyber security topics since 2011, now over 100 times. As usual, always peppered with witty wordplay. He writes a weekly column and has published five books. "Hacking for Managers" won the "getAbstract award" for "Best Business Book 2011" and "It's a Nerd's World" received the EMYS Youth Non-Fiction Award in August 2019. HOBBIES Schroedel is an expert in historical ciphers. For example, after 450 years he has found a way to decipher short Vigenère texts for the first time. His collection of old, encrypted postcards has already been exhibited in museums several times.

CYBERCRIMINALS ON THE DARKNET

Ransomware and how our data ends up online

A lecture like a thriller! The biggest threat to companies at the moment is cyber-criminals, who first steal data, then encrypt it and finally demand a "ransom". If you don't pay, contracts, emails and other company secrets end up online - for everyone to see. Follow Tobias Schroedel on a foray into the dark side of the web. Look over the shoulder of ransomware 2gangs on the Darknet - LIVE. We see how these gangs are organized, how much money is involved and who is blackmailed at this very moment. Of course, there is also information on how the criminals get into the victim's company network and how you can protect yourself against this. Time flies during this presentation! I promise!

AI - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Why a horse (probably) has no feathers

The somewhat different Al lecture. It's not just about marveling. In this lecture on artificial intelligence, Tobias Schroedel will try out some Al tools live: from ChatGPT to image generators. What can Al do and why does it sometimes fail at simple tasks? Experience how Al works, learns and thinks - and why it doesn't actually know, but only assumes, that a horse has fur and no feathers. After this presentation, you will no longer be afraid of Al. But of those who operate it.

LIVE-HACKING - IT SECURITY WITH A DIFFERENCE

The classic and an updated "best of" all lectures - the live hacking show that has inspired thousands of people around the world. Tobias Schroedel introduces you to the world of hackers and takes a look into the poison cabinet of IT. The topics vary depending on the duration. From password crackers and callerspoofing to deepfakes and voice cloning in video conferences, everything is possible. There are not only plenty of "aha" experiences, but also just as many "a-hahaha" moments.

WHAT DATA REVEALS - THE INTERNET-DETECTIVE

I have nothing to hide. Really? You'll be surprised what you can find out about someone with just a few inconspicuous pieces of data and a few online tools. In this presentation, people and criminals are exposed.
