The main message of the forum was the need to move from theory to practice, which was emphasized by Marietta Gieroń, Chairwoman of the CYBERSEC Programme Committee, who spoke about the need for effective implementation of EU regulations such as NIS2, DORA, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
This goal was achieved thanks to the significant expansion of the EXPO space, which became a vibrant bridge between strategy and real action. It was there, within the debuting ECSO Village, that specific implementation models were presented, showing how theory translates into reality. Dedicated stages, such as the EXPO Stage or Tech Stage, and numerous exhibitors offered practical tools and ready-made solutions, thus realizing the ambition to create a broad platform for the exchange of practical experience.
Experts agreed that Europe’s digital resilience is a shared responsibility, requiring close cooperation between governments, the private sector, academia, and the military. The leading topics of discussion on the forum stages included:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Discussions focused on building trust in AI, balancing innovation with security, and the threats related to disinformation and deepfakes. It was emphasized that education and critical thinking are key in the era of generative AI.
- Dual-Use Technologies: Attention was drawn to the fact that civilian technologies are increasingly powering the military sector, which requires a new approach to the definition and support for knowledge transfer between industry, science, and the armed forces.
- Cybercrime and Cryptocurrencies: Panelists analyzed the growing threats associated with the use of crypto-assets in criminal activities, pointing to the need for international harmonization of regulations and more effective information exchange.
- The Role of Poland on the Digital Map of Europe: Krakow was presented as a national leader in cybersecurity, which was sealed by the signing of a multi-year partnership agreement between the city and the Kosciuszko Institute.
