This talk introduces ESET’s newly formed research team and offers a behind-the-scenes look at how today’s cybercrime groups operate. It highlights one of the most widely used techniques for disabling security products and draws on the team’s own analyses and incident investigations to uncover the most common weaknesses in organizational security

Europe still consumes threat intelligence on other people's terms: foreign platforms, foreign clouds, rigid data models. SemantIQ-Nexus, developed in Austria, is a graph-based and ontology-independent CTI platform built from an intelligence perspective — every single claim keeps its source, its confidence and its history instead of being flattened into one "truth". It delivers what management actually needs: situation reports, timeline analysis and decision support, produced by CTI AI agents that carry the analytical load while the human analyst keeps the judgement. And it runs where the data has to stay — on-premises and fully air-gapped, with the AI models delivered in a box. This talk shows where SemantIQ Nexus stands today and where it is headed. Built not for the hype cycle but for organisations determined to keep control of their own information — and their own analysis

As cyber threats continue to grow in scale, complexity, and impact, innovation has become a critical enabler of effective cyber defense. This panel will explore how emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, automation, advanced analytics, threat intelligence, and cyber resilience solutions, are transforming the way governments, defense organizations, critical infrastructure operators, and private-sector entities protect their digital assets. Experts from industry, government, academia, and the cybersecurity community will discuss current developments, practical experiences, and future trends shaping the next generation of cyber defense capabilities in an increasingly contested digital environment.

Despite decades of innovation and investment, cybersecurity outcomes have not materially improved. Cyber defenders are trapped in a relentless reactive cycle of alerts, triage, investigations, and patch catch-up, yet adversaries are not deterred. Applying military strategic logic, this talk reframes corporate cyber vulnerability as a national security problem and shows why current cybersecurity practices will never suffice to deter or deny nation state aggressors.

The current turbulent geopolitical and social situation is forcing the organizations to adapt to new, hybrid threats and actors. Both public and private professionals will need to be aware of their role—and especially their vulnerabilities—in this new, uncertain, and dynamic environment. Especially control rooms, often monitoring and managing operations and therefor a ‘crown-jewel’, have become prime targets. Are you, and more important, is your operations staff, aware of this? Let’s discuss Operational Technology (OT), their characteristics, and unknown vulnerabilities.

Digital transformation is accelerating the convergence of IT and OT environments while introducing new challenges related to data integrity, trusted information, and cyber resilience. This panel will examine current cybersecurity trends, emerging threats, and practical challenges affecting critical infrastructure, industrial systems, and digital ecosystems. Beyond technical aspects of IT/OT convergence, the discussion will also address the growing importance of detecting manipulated or false data, strengthening information integrity, and enhancing cooperation between government authorities and the private sector in responding to modern cyber threats. Experts from industry, government, and academia will share lessons learned, best practices, and perspectives on building resilient and trustworthy digital environments.

Cyber capability is only valuable when it enables the mission. In modern defense operations, digital systems underpin command and control, intelligence, communications, logistics and operational decision-making. When these systems are disrupted or contested, the ability of personnel to respond effectively can determine whether the mission continues or fails. This contribution will examine how defense organisations can build cyber capability around operational needs rather than available training catalogues.

How can you easily identify cyber risks and gain an overview of their significance for your organization's security? A practical demonstration of the CSA (Cyber Security Audit) tool will present a simple approach to conducting risk analysis and using it to obtain clear and practical outputs. The aim is to demonstrate how a suitable tool can simplify and streamline risk analysis and turn it into a practical basis for cybersecurity management.

The crises of the coming years will not respect the boundaries between government sectors or disciplines. A cyberattack, critical infrastructure outage, disruption of supply chains, geopolitical conflict, disinformation, or the failure of key technologies can combine into a single crisis with far-reaching consequences for the functioning of the state and the everyday lives of citizens.
How prepared are we really for such situations? This panel will bring together perspectives from cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, healthcare, geopolitics, and crisis management. It will focus on strategic dependencies, emerging technologies and AI, the ability to share information and make decisions under pressure—and, above all, on what governments, businesses, and society need to do today to ensure they can continue to function when the next crisis hits.

The adoption of new European cybersecurity legislation and its incorporation into the national legal framework represents one of the most significant changes in recent years for both the public and private sectors. The panel discussion will focus on the practical aspects of implementing European directives, particularly NIS2, and the new Cybersecurity Act. Experts from public administration, regulators, critical infrastructure operators, and private companies will discuss new obligations, expected impacts on organizations, best practices for implementing the required measures, and challenges related to building cyber resilience. The discussion will provide an up-to-date view of regulatory developments, practical experience, and recommendations for organizations preparing for the new requirements.
