RIEDEL Networks with the famous hacker Chris Rock

At the IT-SA Expo&Congress

The company will be exhibiting at Europe's largest trade fair for IT security in Nuremberg from October 7 to 9, 2025 with a special guest from the international hacker scene.

Butzbach, September 16, 2025 - RIEDEL Networks, provider of tailor-made IT security and network services, will be demonstrating at it-sa Expo&Congress how medium-sized companies in particular can effectively protect themselves against cyber threats.

Special attention will be paid to a guest from the international hacker scene, who will provide practical insights at the RIEDEL Networks stand: Chris Rock, the world-renowned cyber-mercenary who has hacked the birth and death registers of various countries, among other things. With over 30 years of experience, the expert has already toppled governments, turned the earth into an antenna for deadly signals and regularly uncovered vulnerabilities at DEFCON. Today, he serves as CISO of an innovative start-up and has also contributed to the development of the RIEDEL Enterprise Defense [R.E.D.] suite.

"We are very much looking forward to not only presenting our latest solutions in the areas of cybersecurity and networks at it-sa 2025, but also to offering our visitors exciting insights into the world of cyber operations with the exclusive know-how of our special guest," explains Michael Martens, CEO at RIEDEL Networks.

RIEDEL Networks' presence at the trade fair will also focus on live demos of the RIEDEL Enterprise Defense [R.E.D.] security suite. The security solution is specially designed to effectively fend off a wide range of attacks and reliably protect corporate networks. The technical background and insights into current attack scenarios and defense strategies will be presented on site. In addition, lawyers from RIEDEL Networks partner Clarius Group will be on hand at the stand to provide advice on legal issues such as the NIS-2 Directive, data protection and IT compliance. It will be shown how the joint IT audit is carried out, what results the security check provides and how these can be used to prepare for audits.
