The QCI-CAT project is proud to look back on its participation in the IKT-Sicherheitskonferenz 2025 (seminar.bundesheer.at), Austria’s leading event for information and communication technology security. For our project, this was an excellent opportunity to present EuroQCI in a national context and to highlight how our research contributes to strengthening Austria’s cybersecurity landscape, which aligns closely with the conference’s focus on secure digital infrastructures, defence-related IT, and the protection of critical information systems.
A highlight of our participation was the keynote presentation by Sebastian Ramacher (AIT) and Werner Stasser (fragmentix) titled “And you really want to keep your data private?”. Their talk captured the audience’s attention by demonstrating the pressing need for active cryptographic protection of data in an era of increasing digital threats and the looming challenges posed by quantum computing.
We thank the organizers of the IKT-Sicherheitskonferenz for inviting QCI-CAT to be part of this important platform. The event allowed us to engage with key stakeholders from defence, public administration, industry, and academia, further emphasizing the relevance of our work in both the EuroQCI initiative and Austria’s national security research agenda.
