Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) – Is It Time? (7 min)
New requirements under Slovak cybersecurity legislation are placing greater demands on the management of cryptographic risks. We will explain why now is the time to prepare for post-quantum cryptography, what organisations need to address today, and what we have learned from practical preparations for migration.

How Eviden sees the place of AI in cyber security
For Eviden, cyber security means, first of all, the activities necessary to protect assets, to ensure the functioning of everyday life through cyber and physical means, and secondly, to build resilient systems. A comprehensive approach is needed to protect critical systems and sensitive information. AI and machine learning (ML) play an increasingly critical role in cybersecurity. Advanced AI data analytics capabilities are increasingly used to identify and predict cyber threats, improving early detection systems. -
AI Cyber Threats in Medical Decision Making
AI has been a hot topic in recent months, not only in the stock markets but also among IT enthusiasts. Every day, we witness the race to develop solutions utilizing artificial intelligence technologies. Healthcare is no exception with discussions about how software solutions will soon replace human roles. However, we need to pause and consider this carefully! The use of AI opens up a wide range of cyber threats that can alter decisions, potentially with fatal consequences. Our contribution aims to highlight the services of Eviden Slovakia, which, through its technological and process solutions can timely identify and mitigate potential threats. -
The importance and challenges of cybersecurity in healthcare

Predictive security in healthcare facilities
The security of IT/OT/IoT infrastructures in medical facilities today is entirely based on monitoring, detection of non-standard conditions, and in the best case, statistical analysis of data flows. The concept, which is starting to gain traction abroad, is based on the cooperation of these standard "monitoring-based" approaches with predictive analysis of data from the web environment, social networks and the Darknet/Darkweb. The contribution aims to inform and draw attention to this neglected area and to present a concept of possible solutions. -
IT / OT security in industry
It is said that the OT world is ten years behind the IT world. When designing the OT equipment, emphasis was placed on operation, while safety was only a marginal issue. So can such devices be protected at all? Atos can offer the answer with its solution methodology for industrial companies, energy, but also healthcare. -
Security as a part of public administration modernization
Security risks related to digitalization and modernization of the public sector, and how to solve those risks. The protection of sensitive data is a must. The digitization associated with the modernization of public administration brings several security pitfalls - technological, human and legal. In our presentation, we will show how can Atos help you handle these security issues related to the public sector modernization.
