She also stressed the importance of risk mapping and defining cluster areas of intervention.

Cybersecurity is the main challenge that modern businesses are currently facing. Millions of dollars are lost by businesses as a result of ransomware, phishing, illegal impersonation, and identity theft. It was noted that such data emphasizes the value of education and business investments in security, as well as the expanding field of cyber experts, who are currently in higher demand than traditional developers.

"I am extremely pleased that this year we once again managed to gather companies and individuals who are successfully tackling threats in the cyber environment daily. The focus of our company is the development of systems that guarantee security to the financial sector and e-commerce, but also other industry verticals. By organizing this conference, we wanted to share our knowledge and experiences and invite other experts in this domain to demonstrate positive practices", said Viktor Olujić, a member of the ASEE Croatia management board, and added: "A big thank you to our partners, speakers and participants who brought added value and help us to see a clearer view of the future, and the challenges ahead."

The "Alert" was organized by ASEE, one of the largest IT companies in Europe in the production and implementation of own software solutions. ASEE Group employs over 3,000 people worldwide and operates in 23 countries. With this conference, ASEE hoped to focus more on educating businesses and individuals about the importance of security in a cyber environment.
