Although experts say an invisible global war has long been the part of everyday reality in cyberspace, the war in Ukraine has catapulted the topic to mainstream public discussion. State-backed hackers as well as profiteering cybercriminals probe networks and systems for the slightest vulnerabilities to exploit for their own gain.
At this event we discuss the global cybersecurity landscape and explore ways governments and businesses can minimize their digital vulnerabilities.
We also discuss:
- The cyber war in Ukraine, the growing concerns of cyber security incidents and the resilience of critical business functions.
- Cybersecurity and energy security

Gábor Varga, National Technology Officer, Microsoft Hungary
The National Technology Officer (NTO) role is all about proactive responsibility. The NTO's purpose is to maximize positive impact and minimize the risk of new technologies such as artificial intelligence. "The question is not only what computers can do. It’s what computers should do." I enjoy the intellectual challenge of making sense of the interplay of technology, society, and business. I often find cybersecurity as the focal point. My career journey includes Regulations & Compliance, Partner Management, Sales, Enterprise Architecture, Go-to-market Strategy, Product Marketing, and Localisation. Graduated from Budapest University of Technology, holding an MBA from Purdue.
My 30-year-long tenure at Microsoft gave me the unique opportunity to witness from the inside landmark events like the internet bubble or reorienting Microsoft’s business model from selling software to providing cloud. I believe that negative implications of technology can be mitigated unless we underestimate their risk and fail to act accordingly.
