Paula Januskiewicz: Understanding infrastructure is not the same as knowing how to attack it

31. 7. 2024

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.

A digital vault is in the pipeline. It can store personal documents as well as contracts and receipts

Anything can now be done electronically. You can order lunch and groceries to take home, make a doctor's appointment, or enrol on a course at college. Meanwhile, what is still the music of the future is documentation. But that future is around the corner. A consortium of entities has been set up at the European Commission to deliver, within two years, a prototype European digital identity, which serves as the basis for electronic documents, internationally valid prescriptions for medicines or a driving licence that will be valid everywhere in the Union. Experts from Aricoma, who specialise in identity verification and authentication, also have a role to play in this long-awaited step forward.

A borderless Europe needs a defender. Its new generation is born

Older generations will remember this. Long queues at the border, occasional butterflies in your stomach when the officer spends too long checking your documents. With the Czech Republic's accession to the European Union, checks at the borders of the member states have been abolished. This does not mean that borders are not protected. On the contrary. The Schengen Information System (SIS), for example, has been in operation for years, and in the last few weeks a new generation of SIS has been in place, forming one of the virtual shields of the Union's external and internal borders. Their defences are becoming more sophisticated, running continuously in the background, and there are already plans to improve them further. Specialists from Aricoma are involved in all this.
