BSIDES International Cybersecurity Conference. Day 1

Special guest for the Conference was the Deputy Minister of e-Government Atanas Maznev. On behalf of the UNWE the participants in the Forum were welcomed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rosen Kirilov, Vice Rector for Digitalization and Cybersecurity of the University.

"It is an honour and a privilege for me to open this International Forum which is held for a second consecutive year in Bulgaria. A forum that gives the Bulgarian community of information and cybersecurity specialists the opportunity to get acquainted with all the innovations and trends in the sector which are currently relevant at the international level", said the Deputy Minister of e-Government Atanas Maznev and added that the requirements and demands in the field of cybersecurity constantly increase not only among professionals but also in our daily lives. The Ministry of e-Government works not only in the field of cybersecurity but also in the digitalization of the state starting from the creation of laws, policies and state strategies to the operational protection of the state administration itself.

"The new European Directive NIS 2 for network and information security was published. We are about to develop a new Cybersecurity Regulation under this regulation so your knowledge and skills will be needed in creating these regulations. In the framework of this Forum the first qualification round will be held in the formation of the Bulgarian National Cyber Security Team with the official support of the Ministry of e-Government. The team will represent our country at the European Cyber Security Challenge", added the Deputy Minister Maznev.

The Vice Rector for Digitalization and Cybersecurity of UNWE Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rosen Kirilov greeted the participants in the Conference. On behalf of the Rector, Prof. Dimitar Dimitrov, allow me to welcome you to our University. We are grateful to the organizers that for the second consecutive year this event is held at the UNWE, for us it is an honour, a privilege and a great responsibility. As a host of the Forum we see our modest involvement in the formation and maintenance of a community of cybersecurity practitioners which is of exclusive importance as to business as to the public sector and the country as a whole. Our University has been quite active in cybersecurity education in recent years and we have a very successful Master's degree programme in Cybersecurity Management. This year we hope to be able to launch a Bachelor's degree programme in Cybersecurity focused not so much on the technical aspects but rather on the management and organization which are very important for every organization", said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rosen Kirilov. He outlined that the UNWE works and has taken a number of actions in terms of cybersecurity and digitalization. He also emphaised: "I could most responsibly declare that the UNWE is a leader in digitalization among higher education institutions".

The National Cyber Security Coordinator Petar Kirkov presented the regulations in the sector pointing out that they are a very important part of the process because they happen against the background of the daily work of information and cybersecurity specialists. He also presented the latest set of European Union regulations in the field of network and information security.

Radoslav Gerganov presented his research on Hyundai Head Unit Hacking regarding how cyber-secure are the new cars, Christian Cornea spoke about the possibility to evade the antivirus protection by "bad-usb".
