INVITATION-ONLY ROUNDTABLE

The European Cybersecurity Competence Centre will soon get operational and start its work towards building a more inter-connected, robust and competitive cybersecurity ecosystem in Europe. It will also pool European industrial capacities and streamline investments into crucial cyber technologies. The paramount objective of ECCC’s operations will be to strengthen and provide further boost to the entire European cybersecurity sector, from the smallest start-ups to the biggest industry players. The aim of this closed-door session is to provide for a venue for a constructive discussion that should start to build common understanding among major European cybersecurity stakeholders regarding much-needed programmes, projects and initiatives that ECCC could help to advance or facilitate. To this end, it should deepen the conversation between private and public sectors, think-tanks and academia, cybersecurity experts and others, delivering on initial ideas for joint strategic projects in cybersecurity.

Critical infrastructure, such as cloud environments, power plants and grids, communication networks and more – are particularly vulnerable to malicious actions in cyberspace, posing substantial threats to stability, security, and efficiency of modern states. It is an interconnected and interdependent ecosystem, form both cross-sectoral and international perspective, due to which the damage caused by potential attacks can spread uncontrollably. Moreover, critical infrastructure entities oftentimes base their security systems on commercial off-the-shelf software which reduces the costs and is easier to be used, however at the same time increases vulnerabilities and exposure to cyberattacks. Developing and implementing cyber-resilience into critical infrastructure requires continuous efforts and cooperation from a variety of stakeholders representing different fields, branches of economy, and levels of management, taking a holistic approach towards not only policies and regulations, but also risk management, information sharing, certifications etc. Different sectors face different challenges and risks however, finding the right tools and measures to deal with ransomware, phishing, insider threats, and industrial control systems, just to name a few, could be the common ground for increased cooperation. Tips and requirements on these are included in various manuals, still exchange of best practices and information may be the gap that we would like to bridge during this workshop. 

OPEN WORKSHOP

Place: conference room 7 
Time: 18th May, 11:15 – 12:45
Duration: 1,5h
Target audience: risk management officers, CISOs, CSOs, management board representatives, data protection officers, IT-sec managers
Description: The English-language workshop will help participants develop a holistic view of how risk management considerations help to drive the development of security capabilities.  It will aid in answering the following questions: 

How can security professionals improve corporate leadership’s understanding of why information security is strategically important?  How can we better communicate the value of infosec good practice to management and boards?
How can we show that improved infosec maturity measurably reduces risk to the organization?
How do we translate high level regulatory requirements and company policy into specific technology and processes?
The session is cross-sector, and will consist of short presentations about participants’ own experience, followed by open discussion.  Participants are encouraged to prepare talking points from their organization and industry.  All content will be covered by Chatham House Rules (no attribution without permission).

TIME TBA / SESJA SPECJALNA

Dezinformacja zatacza coraz szersze kręgi i dotyczy coraz poważniejszych zagadnień. Z fake newsami spotyka się codziennie większość polskiego społeczeństwa. Pandemia COVID-19 oraz bezprecedensowa agresja Rosji na Ukrainie uświadomiła decydentom jak istotnie dezinformacja może wpływać na bezpieczeństwo narodowe i kwestie życia ludzkiego. Niemal codziennie identyfikujemy procesy dezinformacyjne w kluczowych społecznie i politycznie kwestiach. To spotkanie ma ułatwić wymianę doświadczeń, dobrych praktyk i rekomendacji w tym obszarze w szerokim gronie ekspertów. Jego zwieńczeniem będzie pakiet rekomendacji o wymiarze systemowym dla polskiego rządu, a także lepsze zrozumienie przez wszystkich interesariuszy skali zagrożeń i posiadanego przez polskie państwo instrumentarium, które w tym momencie jest zdecentralizowane, a które należy “zjednoczyć” aby zbudowana został ogólnospołeczna i ogólnopaństwowa odporność na dezinformację.
