About the event
In 2026, information protection will be far more than a technical discipline. Amidst AI initiatives, SaaS ecosystems, increasing regulatory requirements, and a tense threat landscape, companies face the challenge of effectively protecting sensitive information without slowing down their business processes.
This isn't just about protection against data leakage. It's about transparency regarding critical data, robust governance, controlled use of new technologies, and the ability to remain operational even in dynamic cloud and AI environments.
e3 Perspectives brings together executives, subject matter experts, and specialists to jointly discuss these very questions: What risks and priorities will shape information security in 2026 in Germany? What measures are effective in practice? And how can security strategies be structured to combine protection, traceability, and business benefits?
We will discuss the following topics in depth
Technical protective measures (DLP & Encryption)
With over 25 years of experience in information security, Thomas Fürling shows how data classification, channel-specific controls, and automation are effectively implemented in practice.
AI Protection and New Risk Areas
AI expands the attack surface. We are discussing how companies can maintain control over their data, even on external AI platforms.
Data Sovereignty & Third Country Intercept Risk
Michael Rieder (20+ years of experience in international technology governance and enterprise architecture) explains which technical measures effectively reduce exposure to government access in the cloud.
Peer Dialogue
The e3 Perspectives event series is deliberately designed for dialog and is aimed at managers who are looking for a professional exchange that goes beyond traditional lecture formats. In small groups, experts and specialist managers discuss real cyber incidents, decision-making dilemmas and tried-and-tested solutions as equals. The aim: to take away concrete starting points for greater data sovereignty, traceability and resilience.

Thomas Fürling
Founder and CEO at e3, expert in data loss prevention & information protection
Data protection is a matter for the boss. Thomas Fürling has been living this for more than 25 years - as the founder of e3 AG and one of the first experts in data loss prevention. His focus goes beyond technology: to clear processes, responsibilities and leadership. Because IT security and data protection in particular start in the mind and are decided in daily actions.
Thomas Fürling contributes his many years of practical experience in the design and implementation of effective information protection strategies. He shows how organizations can prevent data leaks in a structured way and at the same time ensure that stolen data loses its value for attackers.
Specifically, it makes tangible how DLP policies, data classification and channel-related controls are set up in a practical way, how business automation replaces alarm floods and makes security processes scalable - and how Bring Your Own Encryption (BYOE) enables control over keys, data locations and access models.
