HOW TO RECOGNIZE CYBER THREATS AND PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST DIGITAL STRESS?
With the ongoing European Cyber Security Month in October, experts are drawing attention to the need to change the culture of perception of cybersecurity – from individuals to businesses to government institutions. Almost 3/4 of attacks are motivated by financial issues, but we are also threatened by digital stress. Mária Krahulecová from Qubit Conference® advises on how to recognize threats and what to watch out for on social networks.
Experts warn that the cost of cybercrime could reach an unimaginable $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, underscoring the need for robust security strategies and cybersecurity education. According to the Data Breach Investigations Report (2020), up to 71% of all cyberattacks are motivated by a financial issue. These attacks can include the theft of personal information, intellectual property, and even espionage."The issue of cybersecurity concerns everyone, whether it is an entrepreneur or an individual, and includes the protection of phones, computers, creating passwords, ways of storing and not sharing access," explains Mária Krahulecová, co-founder of Qubit Conference®. Obviously, a lack of education in this field can have serious consequences, especially for those who are not tech-savvy.
Current topics, top speakers, the possibility of networking, flawless organization and a pleasant autumn atmosphere of the picturesque Demänovská valley NA Qubit Conference® ... AND DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER AND ENSURE YOUR PARTICIPATION, THIS OCTOBER from 13th to 14th AT Wellness Hotel Chopok.

On Tuesday, July 25, 2023, in Bratislava, at the Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency, we went through the process of the National Cluster Performance Assessment (Národné hodnotenie výkonnosti klastrov), where the Cyber Security Cluster was included in the "advanced cluster" category. Thank you for a pleasant afternoon at SIEA and we look forward to further challenges in the future.
1. Národná klastrová konferencia
V Košiciach sa konala 1. Národná klastrová konferencia, kde sa zúčastnili členovia Clustra Kybernetickej Bezpečnosti a dostali možnosť stretnúť sa a nadviazať nové obchodné vzťahy s partnermi nielen zo slovenských, ale i ukrajinských a európskych klastrov. Toto podujatie pod záštitou Únie klastrov Slovenska v úzkej spolupráci so Slovenskou inovačnou a energetickou agentúrou bolo vnímané ako veľký krok k pozitívnemu vnímaniu klastrov ako dôležitých partnerov v rozvoji hospodárstva na Slovensku naprieč všetkými odvetviami.
…a veríme, že počet podujatí na podporu klastrov bude narastať.
a ako bolo ...
KEDY: 21.3.2023, 09:00 - 12:00 hod.
KDE: Národné podnikateľské centrum Trenčín, Soblahovská 6688, 911 01 Trenčín
V kybernetickej bezpečnosti platí „lepšia štipka prevencie, ako vrece nápravných opatrení“. Vynovená smernica NIS2 so sebou prináša zodpovednosť vrcholového manažmentu za zavedenie bezpečnostných opatrení, ich dodržiavanie a školenia zamestnancov i manažmentu. Stredné podniky ako nové povinné osoby sa musia pripraviť na rozšírenie pôsobnosti zákonných povinností a rozsahu auditu v kybernetickej bezpečnosti.

Comeback ... back to the roots
Our team spent yesterday a day full of nostalgic moments. Representatives of AXENTA s.r.o. - Ing. Peter Jankovský and Aliga s.r.o. - Ing. Martin Sutak, PhD. returned to the Secondary Vocational School of Electrical Engineering in Liptovský Hrádok (SOŠE LH), from which they came out more than a decade ago. This time it was the position of teachers, not students.
AXENTA s.r.o. belongs to the top in the field of cyber security in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Based on the cooperation between the Secondary Vocational School of Electrical Engineering in Liptovský Hrádok (SOŠE LH) and CKB, we initiated a discussion to add the subject "Cyber Security" to the curriculum.
We still feel the lack of professionals in this area on the market and therefore we want to stimulate the interest of young and promising students that gradates at SOŠE LH to continue their studies at universities in this area after finishing secondary education. Members of the Cybersecurity Cluster, as practitioners, will acquaint students with legal, procedural and technical requirements throughout the school year as a necessary part of information and cyber security education. In addition to full-time teaching, where they are in direct contact with specialists, students also have at their disposal a textbook of information security from the authors (Oster, Zeman, Blšák, Chromek), said Ing. Ján Lichvár, Chairman of the Cybersecurity Cluster.
We are proud to announce that we moved again one step forward. We have successfully presented The Cyber Security Clustser and from August 13th is our profile as one of the few clusters in the Slovak Republic published on the platform "ECCP" European Cluster Collaboration Platform.
