Cyber Threat Landscape – What Has Changed and what to do about it

Uroš Žust Partner, IT Assurance & Advisory | Keynote Speaker /Forvis Mazars

Cybersecurity is not a new discipline, but its significance has fundamentally changed. As organisations accelerate digital transformation, adopt cloud-native architectures, and embed AI into core processes, the attack surface has expanded far beyond traditional boundaries. At the same time, threat actors have become more organised, industrialised, and technologically advanced.
This session will provide a focused view of today’s cyber threat landscape, how it has evolved in recent years and what is driving that evolution. We will explore the shift from opportunistic attacks to targeted, scalable operations, the growing role of automation and artificial intelligence in both offence and defence, and the increasing importance of supply chain.
We will close with a pragmatic perspective on resilience – what needs to change in how we think about cybersecurity if we are to keep pace with an environment defined by speed, scale, and continuous adaptation.
