Već 20 godina skandinavske zemlje služe kao jedan od glavnih globalnih referenata obrazovanja. Ovo je naročito istinito za balkansko obrazovanje, gdje se skandinavske didaktičke i pedagoške reforme uvijek navode u diskusiji o idealnom obrazovnom modelu, koja je najjača u mjesecima nakon opštih izbora, odnosno početku mandata kog ministra obrazovanja.

Najveći izazovi s kojima se kompanije danas suočavaju često proizlaze iz okolnosti na koje ne mogu izravno utjecati. Geopolitičke napetosti, poremećaji u lancima opskrbe, energetska neizvjesnost, kibernetičke prijetnje i ubrzane promjene poslovnog okruženja postali su dio njihove svakodnevice. Ključno pitanje zato više nije kako izbjeći svaku krizu, nego koliko je kompanija spremna na nju…

U Banjaluci od danas ponovo počinje naplata parkinga, nakon višemjesečne pauze zbog pravnih sporova oko odluke o upravljanju javnim parkiralištima i garažama. Pravna neizvjesnost i dalje traje, jer se čeka ocjena ustavnosti ove odluke pred Ustavnim sudom Republike Srpske.

Više od dva i po stoljeća učili smo da je čovječja ribica, neobični blijedi vodozemac koji živi u mračnim podzemnim rijekama Dinarida, jedna jedina vrsta. Međutim, najnovije genomsko istraživanje pokazalo je da je istina mnogo složenija: iza gotovo identičnog izgleda krije se čak devet različitih vrsta, od kojih jedna živi i u Bosni i Hercegovini. \[…\] The post Nakon 250 godina zablude: čovječja…

We’re all talking about the tidal wave of vulnerabilities that is upon us, with repeated waves likely coming. As I’ve covered here, we can respond to this in various ways including ramping up speed across our entire defensive stack, which is as much about structural defense-in-depth than just faster patching. I’ve covered that here as well. But, there’s a question as to whether the leading…

Security breaches are often not the result of awesome attacker capabilities or the sudden emergence of sophisticated zero-day exploits. Instead, what we usually find are the controls designed to stop the attack were believed to be operational but were actually broken or misconfigured at the moment when they were needed. Sometimes they were never fully in place to meet the security team's original…

Most people have been through at least one wave of technology transformation. Some of us have been through a few and all carry the wisdom and scars from these.

Everyone, no doubt, has an opinion on how many versions of the CISO role we have gone through since its inception. There has been a constant evolution from what was essentially an IT security manager, to cyber-defense leader, compliance director, technology risk manager, and beyond. However, I would argue the incarnation of the CISO role up until recently has been CISO Version 1.0 albeit with some…

At some point every leader needs to ask themselves: Do I really know what is going on in my company? Do I even know what is really going on in my own organization? Most leaders do not know the actual truth of what is happening. This is not because people are overtly hiding things or that leaders are ineffective, although sometimes it is both of those, but rather this is because of the “thermocline…

It’s not often that a force appears that totally re-orients everything in security. This is what we are facing with AI. 12 months ago I had an incrementalist view of the cybersecurity impact of AI.
