Most cities are required to implement the NIS2 Directive. The digital transformation of cities introduces numerous new services, introduces video surveillance and IoT devices, which increase the vulnerability of the system and access to sensitive citizen data. Education and awareness of cyber threats are at a low level, and the fragmentation of IT systems and lack of understanding of the administration create an environment with financial constraints. In this lecture, using the example of the City of Karlovac, we will show how to successfully deal with these challenges in order to ensure a secure and reliable critical infrastructure.
Zoran has been working in the City of Karlovac for more than 20 years as an ICT technology advisor, where he continuously introduces new solutions while respecting the principles of ensuring cybersecurity and system reliability. In his work, he has encountered various cyberattacks. He is also the president of the ICT Working Group in the Association of Cities, which brings together 127 cities in Croatia, bringing together ICT experts from these cities for the purpose of exchanging experiences and finding optimal solutions for everyone.
In his free time, if he has any, he spends his energy charging and discharging it by hiking, cycling, and hitting a tennis ball.
