16:15 - 16:45 Fatigue Kills. Let's Say it Out Loud!

Presentation of previously unpublished statistics on fatigue in healthcare and its impact on medical errors. Real anonymized cases in which fatigue played a key role, and analysis of the economic implications – costs of mistakes, incapacity for work, and staff turnover. Why is fatigue in healthcare taboo? How does it affect decision-making, reflexes, and empathy? Who are the "supermen" in healthcare, and what types of fatigue do we know? How to talk about fatigue without fear of consequences, and what are the first steps to transforming a culture of silence into a culture of safety?

14:00 - 14:30 How to (not) hack a car company or supply chain security
Incidents involving key suppliers are currently among the most serious yet underestimated threats to organizations' operations. The discussion will offer a detailed, factual analysis of specific incidents, unburdened by unresolved facts, in which the compromise or failure of a third-party-operated system can shut down a customer's essential services within hours. We will focus on fundamental weaknesses in supplier relationship management, architectural dependencies that become single points of failure during attacks, and risks that remain overlooked in practice, even in mature organizations. No marketing, no euphemisms – just practical insights from analyzing real-world incidents that can bring an entire business to a halt.

Speaker: Ivan Makatura, Cybersecurity Association
14:45 - 15:15 Private Cybersec Hub: Initial Asessment of Business Interest

The city of Bratislava is preparing an economic development plan in which cybersecurity plays an important role, including in connection with areas such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and dual-use technologies. In this context, the city wants to examine whether companies are interested in creating a privately funded research and innovation hub that emerges from the bottom up to meet market needs. The city's role is to facilitate coordination and support the conditions for its eventual formation, while, at a later stage, the hub could - similar to the AI institute KInIT - also partially use public resources. The mini-session will serve as an introductory discussion, during which the city will present its intention and open a space for an exchange of views to identify which companies are interested in continuing to develop the initiative.

Speaker: Iva Kleinová, City of Bratislava and Bloomberg Associates
