Porträt von Lars Hohl

Lars Hohl

Renting in the city vs. owning property in the countryside – what housing teaches us about digital sovereignty and our digital security
show more show less

Bio

ars Hohl is an Information Security Manager at Deutsche Bahn AG and has been working in the fields of IT security, data protection, and digital governance in international organizations for over 14 years. A hacker at heart and a data protection advocate by conviction, he is shaped by early experiences in open networks, the tech community, the Chaos Computer Club, and hacker ethics.

 

 

He is committed to digital sovereignty, social responsibility, and open, decentralized structures, and brings these perspectives together in talks that build bridges between everyday life, organizations, and digital security.

Talk Description

Whether it is a family apartment in the city or a house in the surrounding area, the way we live shapes our sense of freedom, security, and dependency. The very same mechanisms shape our digital world. This talk builds a bridge between these two worlds and uses everyday situations to illustrate the essential ‘management decisions’ we all make in our private lives—decisions that directly affect our security and our lives. This creates a shift in perspective that is particularly relevant in light of increasing geostrategic tensions. It affects us within corporations as well as all of us in our private lives, and raises compelling questions whose answers outline possible solutions that you can also apply for yourselves and your families.
