Room 1 / 14:30 - 15:00 / 07 October 2026 (Day 1)

Protecting critical infrastructure against cyberattacks leaves no room for error, and the consequences of such errors can lead to serious disruptions, the paralysis of key services, and losses amounting to millions of zlotys. During the discussion, we will move away from theoretical considerations in favor of analyzing real-world incidents, highlighting the most common mistakes made when securing operating and IT systems. Together with experts, we will discuss solutions and best practices that enhance the security of critical infrastructure. This is a debate on how to learn from others’ experiences, invest effectively in security, and build resilience against modern threats.
