Room 3 / 12:00 - 13:00 / 07 October 2026 (Day 1)

Polish local governments are increasingly becoming targets of cybercriminals and groups acting on behalf of specific countries. Limited budgets and staff shortages further hinder the development of effective protection mechanisms. During the discussion, we will highlight proven methods for strengthening digital resilience in local government and discuss solutions that are already yielding tangible results. Together with local government officials, public sector experts, and representatives of technology companies, we will analyze best practices, the most common challenges, and actions that effectively improve cybersecurity at the local level.
