GOhack26 Symposium
The enemy within
Supply chains, insiders, AI: When trust becomes an attack surface
How do organisations stay in control when trust becomes a potential attack surface? Cyber risks emerge where trust has become implicit. The GOhack26 Symposium examines third-party and insider risks from both a technical and strategic perspective.

When trust becomes a strategic challenge
Cyber risks do not only arise from external attackers. They emerge where trust has become routine — for example in suppliers, employees and AI systems.
- Third parties access critical systems
- Insider risks range from negligence to intent
- Cloud providers operate central infrastructures
- AI systems make or influence decisions
These dependencies are unavoidable, but they fundamentally change the risk landscape.
At the GOhack26 Symposium, experts and executives discuss how organisations can assume responsibility and actively manage dependencies.
What to expect
- A compact, curated evening format
- Perspectives from practice, research and the public sector
- Concrete real-world case studies
- Exchange with decision-makers at eye level
