Croatia is becoming increasingly focused on improving its cybersecurity and IT security practices. Croatia is seeing an increased focus on cyber education and research in the public, private, and educational sectors. The challenge for Cybersecurity is that Croatia is vulnerable to hackers and cybercriminals due to a lack of resources and capacity.

The Croatian government is committed to boosting IT security. In 2016, the government passed the Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection Law, which established the National Cyber Security Protection System and Cyber Security Center. The government is also working to establish national standards and regulations for IT security.

In response to the increasing need for cybersecurity, Croatia has hosted several cyber conferences and events to discuss and promote cybersecurity topics. The annual Croatian Security Conference (CroSec) is held in Zagreb and focuses on information security. The Croatian Information Security Conference also takes place in Zagreb and focuses on IT security topics. Additionally, the Croatia Information Security Summit (CROSTIS) takes place in Zagreb and covers topics related to IT and cyber security.

The Croatian government is taking steps to ensure the security of the country's digital infrastructure. The Ministry of Science and Education launched the National Cyber Security Initiative, which provides resources to educate the public and teach cybersecurity best practices. Additionally, the government has established several cybersecurity research centers and programs focused on researching and developing new IT security strategies.

Ukraine has become an increasingly important hub for Cybersecurity in recent years. IT Security has become a priority, as cybercrime continues to grow in the region and globally. Ukraine is one of Europe’s leading countries for hosting international cybersecurity conferences, making it an important center for the sector.

Ukraine Institute of Information Security is the largest independent non-profit security organization in Ukraine, dedicated to spreading the knowledge of IT security through workshops, training, certification exams, and numerous events. It also hosts and organizes the annual Cyber Security Conference in Ukraine, which brings together the country’s security professionals to discuss the latest cyber-related issues. Additionally, the governing body WILLC (The All-Ukrainian League of IT Security Professionals) also holds regular events and conferences in Ukraine on information security topics and new security strategies.

With the continuation of the Russian conflict, cyber-warfare and cybercrime incidents have been one of the biggest security threats for Ukraine. There are also increasing threats associated with information systems, fraud, espionage, and data theft. Ukraine has responded by strengthening the cyber defense of its critical information infrastructure. The country has introduced several laws and regulations such as the Law of Ukraine for the Protection of Personal Data, the Law of Ukraine on the Electronic Digital Signatures, and the Law on Cyber Security, to help combat cyber-attacks and protect customers’ data. Ukraine is also an active participant in NATO's CCDCOE (Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence) program; the objective of this program is to improve the security of NATO nations’ cyber networks.

Ukraine is now considered one of Europe’s leading countries for hosting cybersecurity conferences which bring professionals and experts together to explore and discuss the latest developments in cyber security. These events are a great opportunity for Ukrainian IT professionals and organizations to stay up to date with the latest threats and strategies for security. A few notable cybersecurity conferences in Ukraine are the International Symposium for Information Security (ISFC) and Cyber Expert Forum.
