Predrag Puharić – From reactive to predictive (Cyber Summit Budapest 2025)

🎥 When there is no state protection: a civil initiative became Bosnia’s cyber shield

In his presentation, Predrag will show how, in the absence of national regulations and CERT, an independent cybersecurity center (SESAC) was established in Bosnia, which protects the most vulnerable organizations with open source tools, artificial intelligence, and regional cooperation—even without state backing.

🌐 Main topics:

• How does an independent CERT operate without government support?
• Honeypots, CVE tracker, and predictive security with AI
• ShadowServer data and open source-based protection
• Protection of civil society organizations and international cooperation
• Regional AI sandboxes and educational connections

🛡️ If you are interested in how to achieve real cybersecurity results with minimal resources, this presentation will be an inspiring and instructive example for you—especially for developing countries or smaller organizations.
