The conference titled "Cyber Security Conference Mostar 2024: How to Protect Your Business from Cyber Threats" brought together cybersecurity experts in Mostar to discuss current challenges and offer solutions for protecting businesses against digital threats.
Speakers shared their experiences and knowledge on topics such as invoice fraud, phishing prevention, and defense against ransomware attacks. In addition to theoretical lectures, participants had the opportunity to join an interactive workshop on layered defense, which demonstrated through practical examples how to implement multi-layered protection in everyday business operations.
