QSEC-CEE 2025 Concludes with Breakthroughs in Quantum Cybersecurity

KOSICE, SLOVAKIA, Feb 4, 2025 - ( JCN Newswire ) - Decent Cybersecurity concluded its highly anticipated conference QSEC-CEE 2025 on post-quantum cybersecurity, bringing together experts and innovators at Bistro HAJE and online, on Jan 31, 2025. The sold-out hybrid event gathered leading cybersecurity professionals from across Central and Eastern Europe, fostering critical discussions on the future of quantum-resistant security solutions.

The conference, organized by Decent Cybersecurity, a founding member of the Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic (Asociacia kritickej infrastruktury Slovenskej republiky, AKI), showcased the region's emerging leadership in quantum security innovation.

The day opened with powerful keynotes from industry leaders. Matej Michalko, CEO of Decent Cybersecurity, delivered an inspiring vision of Central Europe's role in quantum security, followed by Michaela Abel, COO, who outlined practical steps for building quantum-ready organizations.

The program flowed seamlessly through technical and strategic presentations. Ing. Pavol Krcho, PhD. traced the fascinating evolution from punch cards to post-quantum cryptography, while doc. Ing. Jaroslav Sivak CSc. delivered crucial insights on critical infrastructure security. Marek Prochaska brought fresh perspectives on the post-quantum future of DevOps.

The afternoon sessions saw Ing. Hana Krchova, Ph.D., MBA tackling the future of R&D project management, followed by Mgr. Jozef Binder's exploration of agile methodologies in the quantum era. Certified cybersecurity auditor and manager Ing. Pavol Adamek rounded out the program with a comprehensive overview of NIS2 implementation in Slovakia.

"The quantum threat isn't coming - it's here," warned Michaela Abel during her keynote. "And today showed that Central Europe isn't waiting for solutions from Silicon Valley or Tel Aviv. We're building them ourselves."

The carefully curated single-track format ensured all attendees, both in-person and virtual, shared the same powerful experience. Live translation services in English, Slovak, and Czech enabled seamless communication across the region.

"The energy here is different," noted one attendee from Prague. "It's not just another tech conference - there's real work getting done, whether you're here in person or joining remotely."

The choice of venue proved inspired. Bistro HAJE, perched in Kosice's Lorincik district, offered a refreshing break from sterile conference centers. Between sessions, in-person attendees networked over local specialties while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, while virtual participants engaged through dedicated networking channels.
