“A cyber attack reduced 0.2% of the English GDP – and it could happen to us too”

“The ability of attackers to produce sophisticated attacks has increased immeasurably”

But the problem and the solution to the problem are two sides of the same coin. Many organizations in the past sat and waited for a certain technology to become mature. Here we see something that has mixed up the cards – part of innovation is also the space to make mistakes, to get into it at a very early stage.”

“It goes back to the price of the mistake. The more eggs we put in the basket of technology, the price of the mistake rises. The world has become terribly centralized, and when such a big player is harmed – the entire food chain is harmed and it drags everyone after it, up to the country’s GDP. It’s scary and dangerous, but it’s our routine in this profession.”

“Today’s ‘electricity’ can be a violation of your privacy”

“My brain probably works a little differently than the average user who buys these things. When I approach it, I approach it from a place of cost-effectiveness, always thinking about ‘what if’, designing the system in such a way that its exposure to the outside world will be significantly lower.

What I would recommend to a person who is new to this today: once to go on the wide and familiar platforms, and a second time to plan. If you don’t know – it’s not a shame to ask. Just like you wouldn’t mess with electricity and start installing switches yourself because it’s dangerous, here too people must understand that a mistake has a price. Today’s ‘electricity’ can be a violation of your privacy, a camera that someone accessed at home.”

“Over time, and this is an insight that took me a while to come to – the most important thing, the best protection for children today, the year 2026, is the confidence to make a mistake and say, ‘Something happened, let’s talk.’

Children can fall victim to scams or blackmail, and the child often says, ‘Wow, I was wrong, my parents are going to be angry’ because of this culture of ‘don’t do it’ – and there a small or medium problem can turn into a huge problem.”

“The whole issue of the instinct to react quickly – if I took out this instinct, it could prevent 80% of the frauds. Stop for a second, take a deep breath before doing things. This is a true tip for life, not only in the field of cyber. In the end, each of us can choose whether we are part of the problem or part of the solution. The solution is not absolute and the problem is challenging, but it is getting up every morning, making the right choices, showing awareness and involvement – and educating the children, the involvement The family, the friends and the managers.”
