The
debate was inaugurated by a speech of our special guest, professor Michał
Kleiber, Chairman of the Council of Executive Club, President of the European
Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences. The professor pointed
out the importance of digitization on the path of development and innovation,
emphasizing that this progress involves numerous activities – from education
and research, through state regulations, to social support for innovation. He
also talked about the DARQ technology set: distributed ledger technology,
artificial intelligence, extended reality, and quantum computing, which he
considered the key to success in the post-digital era.
After the inaugural
speech, there was a discussion moderated by Xawery Konarski – Vice President of
the Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Communication. The debaters
included: Rafał Jaczyński – Regional Cyber Security Officer, CEE&Nordics,
Huawei, Jakub Jagielak – Director for Cyber Security Development, Atende S.A.,
and dr hab. inż. Tomasz Nasiłowski – President of the Management Board,
InPhoTech. During the discussion panel, the invited speakers focused on three
thematic blocks. The first topic concerned the benefits and risks of adopting
cloud-based solutions by organizations. These services allow for better
security management. One visible problem that Polish enterprises seem to have
is the lack of in-house cyber security experts, who would be responsible for
this area. It is also important to have a multi-level action strategy, taking
into account the security of the physical layer against unauthorized data
access. Next, the panelists discussed cloud-based solutions in relation to
remote work. The pandemic revealed the effects of previous actions towards
digital innovation. Today, the need to increase bandwidth is especially
evident, while protection against phishing campaigns and information theft is
becoming a significant challenge. In order to limit attacks in the digital
world, it is necessary to properly prepare employees for remote work.
Appropriate organization is also important, as well as the implementation of
basic solutions, such as two-factor authentication. The last part of the debate
was devoted to technological trends. The experts discussed, among others, forecasts
for the development of the Internet of Things and company investments in
employee training. Security is still incorrectly seen as a cost to be paid
rather than care for company value. In order to properly ensure security,
organizations should decide to separate their security departments from the
structures of IT departments. The speakers also emphasized the importance of
intellectual property, whose security is key for protecting the developed
innovative potential and remaining competitive on the market.
