It is pretty hard to imagine a job, a school day or life in general without computers, phones and technology in general. But daily exposure to them has an impact on people and contributes to shaping their lives. How can we make the most of them, the positive side, and not be influenced by the negative side? This is what psychologist David Šmahel has been researching at Masaryk University (MU) for years. In contrast to others, you will not hear apocalyptic scenarios from him. Instead, he speaks engagingly about all the consequences of the digitalisation of life that we are still unaware of.

Aricoma has been involved in cybersecurity since it started its business in the first half of the 1990s. It actively examines clients' information security levels and the resilience of their technology. Clients often need to find out how secure their business perimeter is and what they need to work on. This is aided by a community of experienced penetration testers who simulate a cyber attack on a client's system. At both the network and application level, they can test the ability to withstand real-world cyberattacks from the external environment. But that's not all.

Chances are, you're already familiar with it and are no stranger to the word "prompt". The use of generative AI tools has massively increased in recent months, but they can't be used everywhere. Sensitive corporate data doesn't belong in the public domain. So people are looking for ways to create protected systems that allow analysis and generation of information without data leaks. Aricoma's specialised team is working on this and has therefore also teamed up with the mathematics institute of the Brno University of Technology.

"We've been carrying chip debt since the 1970s, Europe was happy to get rid of chip production because it's water and electricity-intensive. And now we're slowly and painfully catching up. At the same time, we will need more and more chips, and even more sophisticated ones than today," says Tomáš Pitner, professor at the Faculty of Informatics of Masaryk University and head of the research centre, about the situation in which the Czech Republic and Europe find themselves. But in exactly which way?

The number of cyberattacks will not decrease. Let's face it and defend ourselves. This is how one could sum up the words of Paula Januszkiewicz, a Polish cybersecurity expert who spoke this spring at Security 2024, Aricoma's annual conference about IT security trends. Januszkiewicz, whose company CQURE has four offices around the world, spoke about why companies and institutions can't resist attacks, how to get more experts, and where the industry is headed.

I can think of three major technological innovations I've seen in my career: the internet (connecting everything), mobile (connecting all the time), and big language models (LLM, generative AI). The penetration of the first two has been relatively slow (within years). AI, on the other hand, has swept in like a hurricane.
