In the digital age, no company is immune to cyberattacks. Experts at today’s AmCham Business Breakfast clearly emphasized that the question is no longer IF an attack will happen, but WHEN. They also highlighted the necessity of a cybersecurity strategy for organizations, the crucial role of the human factor, and raised awareness about social engineering in attacks. The purpose of the event was not to instill fear, but to educate, as today, the difference between danger and security can be just one click away.

The speakers at the event emphasized the importance of timely detection of potential threats. From a company’s perspective, it is crucial to raise awareness and preparedness among employees, as security does not start and end with technology, but with the people who use it. We must also be cautious about the partners we collaborate with—trust is a prerequisite for partnership in today’s digital world, but it must not be blind. Hackers are becoming increasingly innovative, but everyone can contribute to security and more efficient business operations if we understand the dangers and take the right actions. The event revealed that many companies operating in Slovenia are already on the right path, recognizing cybersecurity as a key focus for their business.

🔹Cybersecurity is a journey, not a one-time goal!
🔹Don’t leave your front door open-update your software
