Since 2016, RuhrSec is the annual English speaking IT security conference with cutting-edge security talks by renowned experts. The conference is hosted at the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, right in the heart of Bochum near the river Ruhr. RuhrSec provides you with academic and industry talks, the typical University feeling, and a highly recommended social event.

Exciting talks, great coffee, and the amazing RuhrSec community - that's RuhrSec 2025. We can’t wait to enjoy two days full of IT security with you on February 20 and 21, 2025.

The conference program (https://www.ruhrsec.de/2025/index.html#program) will be published later this year.
