BEYOND THE STORM
Alliances and technologies for digital defense
Introduction
In 2023, to celebrate our 10th anniversary, we revisited Sun Tzu and recalled Bruce Lee, using the form of water to describe new “forms” of adaptation and defense. In 2024, we again drew on metaphors from Mother Nature—origin and guardian of evolution—to revisit Nassim Nicholas Taleb and speak about antifragility. When faced with adverse conditions, nature responds not only with adaptation and flexibility but also with antifragility—an attitude that embraces the necessity of change and improves through learning. These parallels also apply to our business systems and our capacity for transformation and improvement in the face of pressures, stress factors, volatility, and disorder.
PanoptiCON2025
Certego’s Cyber Security Event will be held on June 18, at Darsena del Sale, in Cervia (RA).
We are not the only ones changing. We are not alone in evolving, in forming new alliances to thrive. Cybercrime is also rapidly transforming, to profit and to sow disorder. Behind a cyberattack are real criminal organizations, well-equipped and capable of targeting anyone, regardless of size. We live in a fluid world, exposed daily like in a stormy ocean, where changes arrive fast and asymmetrically.
With PanoptiCon2025, we aim to spark a reflection on how we can prepare to respond with greater awareness, through the security of teamwork, and consider how to face the tallest waves with clarity, responsibility, and strategic vision. Because in digital security, sailing alone is not enough: we need cohesive crews, strong alliances, and advanced technologies.
NEVER ALONE: it’s time to build new alliances or strengthen existing ones, based on loyalty and trust—especially in the field of cyber security. According to Certego’s vision, the human being remains at the helm, but is supported by technology: hyperautomation as the exercise of logic, artificial intelligence as analytical capability. An approach that requires studying the enemy, preparing for post-attack scenarios, and—above all—a response that is rapid, flexible, hybrid, and antifragile.
“If an enemy has alliances, the problem is serious and the enemy’s position is strong; if it has no alliances, the problem is minor and the enemy’s position is weak.”
— Sun Tzu
Global companies are increasingly embracing the transformative power of hyperautomation, as it goes beyond traditional automation to include a holistic integration of advanced technologies, including AI-based SOC Assistants.
With journalists, athletes, academics, and experts, we will navigate the waves of this complex present, sharing visions, experiences, solutions, and practical advice to raise our awareness and promote the development of a safer future for all.
