AI in Cybersecurity: Game-Changer or the Illusion of Control?

Poland is the most attacked country in the EU, and the number of cybersecurity incidents in 2024 has already doubled compared to 2023. With a growing talent gap, can AI truly tip the scales in our favor, or is it just another layer of false confidence? Over an exclusive dinner with top IT and cybersecurity leaders, we’ll cut through the hype and get to the core of AI’s real impact. Where does it genuinely enhance security, and where is its effectiveness overstated? We’ll exchange experiences and shape recommendations that help separate real value from illusion. Join us for an evening of sharp insights and candid discussion at Restauracja Baczewskich. Adding depth to the conversation will be senior experts from our partner Crowdstrike: Global Vice President Sales, Patrick Doherty; Senior Director, Data Science, Marian Radu; Regional Manager, CEE, Tomasz Rot. Key topics on the table: Does AI actually speed up response times, or just flood us with more alerts? How do we measure AI’s true effectiveness in security? Can AI predict emerging threats, or is it stuck fighting yesterday’s battles? Where does AI hit its limits, and where is human expertise still irreplaceable?

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success. Unveiling the intricate trilemma faced by today’s Master Chefs, our trailblazing European CIOs address a challenge at the nexus of customer interests, digital transformation strategies, and IT modernisation. Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.

The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.
