Romania is just bouncing back from the biggest cyber attack in global history - so putting Dan Cimpean and Adrian Zuckerman in the same room and handing them the mic seems like the thing to do. Some interesting points from our discussion: 1️⃣ It’s likely going to get worse before it gets better. We have a long way to go, and we need to do more than talk about it - attacks are easier to execute while defensive capabilities have not necessarily caught up 2️⃣ While we're not past the point of no return, and some of the brightest minds we have are working on it, we need to focus on fixing this at all levels - from SMBs to large enterprises 3️⃣ Calling recent events cyber attacks is both accurate and necessary - we should not shy away and call out those elements of hybrid warfare as we see them 4️⃣ Supply chain security is critical - which is why some countries have started banning Chinese hardware 5️⃣ Communication, reporting of incidents and honesty amongst ourselves are the only way to succeed. Defense is a team sport, and we’re all in this together - we need to set aside our egos and start taking things more seriously 6️⃣ Cybersecurity is not just a cost center - it can be used as an enabler or differentiator, and it will definitely save you money. 7️⃣ NIS2 is coming! More on this later… If you’ve been following the news and are worried, talk to our team at Blackshell - we're happy to help. As always, thanks for the team at RACC-IT, Calin Buzan, MBA, Andrei Resmerita, Vladimir Ghita and Alexandru Ana for the amazing work on the event, and see you next time!
