One of our founders, Martin Stöfler, took part in the December Cybersecurity Meetup virtual panel hosted by HIPTHER and moderated by Zoltán Tűndik. The session brought together industry leaders to reflect on the evolving threat landscape at year end and to share forward-looking perspectives as organizations prepare for 2026.
One of our founders, Martin Stöfler, took part in the panel discussion “Game Over? Not If You’re Secure: Cyber Resilience in iGaming”, where industry experts examined how iGaming operators and suppliers can strengthen their defenses against an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. The session focused on practical resilience strategies for protecting platforms, player data, and business continuity in a highly regulated, high-risk sector.
One of our founders, Martin Stöfler, sat down with Zoltan from Hipther to discuss the realities of cybersecurity and compliance in today’s threat landscape. In a wide-ranging conversation, they explored why security is no longer just a technical problem, how regulations like DORA are reshaping expectations, and what organizations can do to build resilience without overwhelming their teams.
Are We Trading Privacy for Policing?
The EU’s “Going Dark” group says it’s about helping law enforcement tackle digital crime. But dig a little deeper, and things get murky. With talk of encryption backdoors, data retention revivals, and pressure on tech companies to play surveillance middlemen, critics warn we’re inching toward mass surveillance. Austria’s already setting the stage with its own plans to monitor messenger apps. Is this really about security, or are we breaking the very tools that protect our privacy? Let’s unpack it.
As we stand at the threshold of January 2024, the clock is ticking for financial service providers across Europe. The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is set to come into full effect in January 2025, marking a significant shift in the regulatory landscape. This impending regulation underscores the critical importance of digital resilience in an era where cyber threats loom large and operational continuity is paramount. In this blog, we’ll delve into the essence of DORA, outline the key requirements it imposes on financial entities, and provide a strategic roadmap to ensure compliance within the one-year timeframe.
