Cyber threat trends in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe
Poland and its central European neighbours are at the sharp edge of facing nation state as well as criminal cyber threats. Ireneusz Tarowski will share some insights into the threat landscape as Orange Polska experiences it every day, and some best practice learnings the company applies internally and with domestic and international partners.
Irek is passionate about issues related to cyber threats and cyber incidents. In his professional role, he specializes in tactical and operational Cyber Threat Intelligence. On a daily basis, he analyzes threats in cyberspace and examines the Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTP) employed by adversaries. His goal is to assess the potential impact of these threats on the organization and formulate plans to respond effectively to emerging cyber risks. Irek has a strong affinity for a defensive approach to cybersecurity.
Irek currently works in the CERT Orange Polska team, where he is responsible for the Cyber Threat Intelligence process. During his career as an expert in the cybersecurity field, he took charge of managing the incident response process.
