The panel discussion will focus on the latest innovations and challenges of modern technologies, which also shape the field of cyber security. Recognized foreign experts will discuss technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), automation of security processes and quantum computing, which have a fundamental impact on cyber resilience. Topics such as cloud security and data protection in cyberspace will be complemented by insights into how AI and ML help predict and respond to threats in real time, while quantum computing brings the potential for a paradigm shift in encryption and data protection. The discussion will also focus on what measures the European Union should take to strengthen its competitiveness in cybersecurity. The panel will thus offer a comprehensive view of the future of technological solutions with an emphasis on their practical application and strategic importance for ensuring digital resilience in the EU.

The panel will focus on modern solutions and technologies that facilitate security teams' work identifying, analyzing, and resolving security incidents. In today's dynamic environment, where cyber threats are evolving at breakneck speed, effective incident handling is critical to minimizing risk and protecting organizations' sensitive data. The competency of cyber security incident investigation specialists and forensic analysts will always be important, but without the tools to monitor and analyze data in real-time, as well as automate incident response steps and rapidly detect threats, it is impossible to keep up with attackers. Experts will focus on practical experiences using these tools, including their benefits, limitations, and costs. The importance of artificial intelligence and machine learning in improving the incident handling process will also be mentioned, especially in the areas of predictive analytics and anomaly detection. 

Cloud solutions are becoming increasingly popular across industries ranging from financial services to the public sector and offer several benefits, including flexibility, scalability, and availability. However, with the increase in the use of cloud technologies comes new security challenges that need to be addressed. The discussion will cover various aspects of security in the cloud, including protection of data transmission and storage in hybrid and public clouds, access control, user identification and authentication in the cloud, monitoring, and incident detection in cloud environments, and options for securing virtual networks and data centers of cloud service providers. Experts will share their experiences and views on effectively minimizing risks and ensuring the trustworthiness of cloud solutions and their compliance with international standards and regulations. Panelists will gain insight into the latest technologies and best practices that enable effective protection of sensitive data in a cloud environment and how to ensure compliance with international standards and regulations.

European legislation is a robust process in which orientation is only possible if you live it. It should be added that the European Parliament, the European Council and the European Commission have been conducting very intensive legislative activities regarding cyber security for the past two years. In addition, there is also a wealth of information, the knowledge of which can indicate to non-participants what has changed and what will change in the European regulation of cyber security and data protection.

The discussion will cover Offensive Cyberspace Operations (OCO). We will examine how preventive cyber strategies shape national security. This session will discuss the US Department of Defense's "Defend Forward" and "Hunt Forward" initiatives, which illustrate how offensive cyber actions can disrupt an adversary's capabilities before they strike.
