At the workshop led by dr. Zoltán Gyurasz a comprehensive view of the connection between artificial intelligence and cybersecurity was heard - a topic that today can no longer be perceived only as the protection of systems, but rather as a question of their robustness, trustworthiness and legal framework.

👉 Key ideas:
• AI as a new security vector
Artificial intelligence systems face specific threats - from adversarial attacks (avoidance) to data poisoning to information leakage or component compromise. Protection must cover the entire ecosystem.

• Security ≠ just technology
Effective AI protection requires a combination of:
✔️ organizational measures
✔️ technical solutions
✔️ specific AI mechanisms
Standardization and an interdisciplinary approach also play a vital role.

• AI as a defense tool
Artificial intelligence is already strengthening Cybersecurity today - especially in the area of:
🔎 anomaly detection
⚙️ reaction automation
📊 attack analysis
🤝 information sharing

• AI as an attack tool
However, the same technologies also enable more sophisticated and convincing cyber attacks. This is a classic "dual-use" problem.

👉 Conclusion:
AI security cannot be narrowed down to a legal framework or isolated technical measures. The key is:
✔️ protect the system as a whole
✔️ ensure data quality
✔️ maintain transparency
✔️ implement human supervision
✔️ manage risks throughout the entire life cycle

In the days 12.-16.01. 2026 was attended by prof. JUDr. Jozef Čentéš, DrSc., head of the Department of Criminal Law, Criminology and Criminology of the Faculty of Law of the Comenius University Bratislava (hereinafter referred to as "Prof. Čentéš") of a study stay at the Department of Criminal Law of the Faculty of Law of Charles University in Prague (hereinafter referred to as the "Department") within the framework of project 17R05-04-V01-00002 - Competence Centre for Cybersecurity Regulation, of Privacy and Cybercrime (CUSEC).

The subject of the study stay was the scientific investigation of the inference of criminal liability in the context of cybersecurity. In connection with this issue, prof. Čentéš consulted on the conditions of the criminality of actions of entities in connection with the violation of regulations related to cybersecurity from the point of view of Czech legislation. As part of his study stay, he gave a requested lecture on the topic "Ramsonvér and the payment of ransom in the context of criminal law", which was taught to the teachers of the department and internal doctoral students (https://www.prf.cuni.cz/aktuality/prednaska-ransomver-a-uhrada-vykupneho-v-kontexte-trestneho-prava). During the discussion, he commented on the possibility of using extreme emergency in relation to subjects, which will pay the ransom due to the prevention of the risk of harm to the health of patients, which may occur in the event of non-payment of the ransom (e.g. hospitals).

The study stay contributed to an increase in awareness of the Slovak legal regulation of inferring criminal liability in the context of cybersecurity, a comparison with the Czech legal regulation, and brought new knowledge that prof. You continue to do scientific research within CUSEC. The study stay also contributed to the deepening of international relations with colleagues from the partner department in Prague.

The conference will create space for professional dialogue between representatives of the public administration, regulators, academia and practice. The program will consist of keynote performances by renowned experts and two thematic panel discussions, which reflect the latest developments in the field of law and technology.

🔹 Panel discussion 1

One year after a major amendment to the cybersecurity Act

Po roku od účinnosti novely zákona o kybernetickej bezpečnosti ktorou sa transponovala smernica NIS2 sa na Slovensku pribudlo množstvo nových subjektov, ktoré aktuálne sú v procese implementácie nových požiadaviek. Panel sa zameria na nové požiadavky zákona ako aj nových vykonávacích vyhlášok v oblasti bezpečnostné opatrení a hlásení incidentov a ďalších bezpečnostných udalostí. Zistíme prvé skúsenosti z pohľadu regulátora ako aj regulovaných subjektov. Otvoríme aj otázku auditov. Na záver sa pozrieme dopredu, na čo by sa mali regulované subjekty zamerať v najbližšom období nielen z pohľadu zákona o kybernetickej bezpečnosti či zákona o kritickej infraštruktúre, ale aj iných, predovšetkým  právnych predpisov EÚ, a aké trendy možno čakať v praxi dohľadu.

MODERATED BY: JUDr. Michal Rampašek

🔹 Panel discussion 2

From digital trail to electronic evidence

Za akých podmienok je možné digitálnu stopu zaisťovať. Čo je potrebné dodržať aby sa z digitálnej stopy stal dôkaz. Panelová diskusia sa pokúsi dať odpovede na otázky, ktoré súvisia so štandardmi zaisťovania elektronických stôp, čo znamená chain of custody a prečo je tento pojem dôležitý. Hostia panelovej diskusie svojou odbornosťou pokrývajú najširšie spektrum strán a subjektov trestného konania, aby poskytli ucelená obraz použiteľnosti elektronických dôkazov v trestnom konaní.
