One of the important messages was that there needs to be an open debate about the risks \u2013 and failures to mitigate them \u2013 as it is an essential tool for learning and improving the prevention and defense mechanisms. Despite that, the cyber attackers will always be few steps ahead and they will always possess more instruments to inflict harm. The speakers also stressed that no level of sophistication on the part of the prevention systems can substitute lack of individual responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>The important part of the discussion focused on new forms of conflicts like disinformation campaigns, propaganda and other digital means of the so-called \u201chybrid warfare\u201d. While it is important to take preventive measures that would make it more difficult for potential attackers to affect, for example, election process, it is far more important to work on restoring trust in governmental institutions which is traditionally very low in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n<p>These three early October debates paved the way to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/event\/annual-2017\/\">2017 Aspen Annual Conference<\/a> which will take place on November 29<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 30<sup>th<\/sup> in the Convent of St. Agnes of Bohemia in Prague.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third evening of the Where are you heading, Czechia series which was organized in cooperation of Aspen Institute Central Europe, V\u00e1clav Havel Library, and the Respekt weekly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16253,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news-tag":[574],"class_list":["post-28727","news-article","type-news-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-tag-umela-inteligence-a-kyberneticka-bezpecnost"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-article\/28727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news-article"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitutece.org\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-tag?post=28727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
