The event created a space for dialogue, connecting the experience of the Ukrainian defence sector with the perspectives of international experts in cybersecurity, security policy and emerging technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discussion addressed key challenges of today\u2019s security environment: the cyber-kinetic nature of modern warfare (the integration of digital operations with military actions on the ground), the functioning of the so-called grey zone below the threshold of open conflict, as well as the legal and ethical boundaries of using artificial intelligence and autonomous systems in armed operations. An important theme was also the growing role of Big Tech \u2013 global technology companies \u2013 and the increasing dependence of state security on infrastructure and services provided by the private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speakers included, among others: Gen. Serhii Demediuk, former Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine; Dr. Lukasz Olejnik, independent cybersecurity researcher and advisor; and Ms. Aleksandra W\u00f3jtowicz, Senior Analyst at the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM). Their contributions and moderated discussions enabled participants to look at the digital battlefield from the perspective of practitioners, analysts and decision-makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was organised in cooperation with the Institute of Cyber Warfare Research, Lviv Polytechnic National University and Google Developer Group (GDG) PJATK. It was given a special dimension by its support for the Superhumans Center \u2013 an organisation providing free prosthetics and rehabilitation for those injured as a result of the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank you to everyone who took part!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 13 January 2026, the Vistula University hosted the international event \u201cNoctuaSec Cyber Summit: Statecraft, Big Tech &#038; the Future of Digital Warfare.\u201d The university became a venue for a strategic discussion on the future of conflict in the digital age, the role of states and the technology sector, and the implications of new forms of warfare for global security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":208252,"parent":0,"template":"","news-category":[127],"class_list":["post-208261","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
