The conference brought together experts from industry, the public sector, academia, and the cybersecurity community to exchange knowledge and discuss current challenges in the field of cybersecurity.

As part of the conference programme, our colleague Josip Čerkez delivered a presentation titled “When a Cyber Attack Crosses the IT Boundary: OT Security in the Energy Sector.” Through an analysis of a real-life European incident, he demonstrated how cyberattacks can affect not only information systems but also the operational technologies that control real-world industrial processes. The presentation highlighted the growing convergence of IT and OT environments and the need for a comprehensive approach to protecting energy infrastructure and other critical systems.

Our colleague Riko Luša also took part in the conference as a panelist in the roundtable discussion “Cybersecurity as a Pillar of Defence.” The discussion brought together representatives from industry, public institutions, and the cybersecurity community to address topics such as critical infrastructure protection, cyber resilience, and cooperation between the civilian and defence sectors in responding to evolving security threats.

Throughout the conference, participants emphasized the importance of establishing trusted information-sharing channels, conducting joint exercises, and developing cooperation models that enable effective action before serious security incidents occur. The exchange of experience between industry, security operations, public institutions, and the defence sector was recognized as a key factor in strengthening national cyber resilience.

In addition to Josip and Riko, our colleague Antun Milaković attended the conference, contributing to professional discussions and knowledge exchange with the broader cybersecurity community.

By participating in CSC 2026, we once again reaffirmed our commitment to developing and implementing advanced cybersecurity solutions and to actively contributing to the protection of critical infrastructure and the strengthening of cyber resilience.
