Quibit 2024, Prague
Czech Republic, Prague, 2024 April
Qubit Conference® is an event that has been held since 2010, offering a unique opportunity to connect with leading experts in cybersecurity, cloud technologies, new tech innovations, data breaches, privacy protection, mobile devices, and digital forensics. It provides real-world experiences from the cybersecurity “battlefield” through the insights of professionals, with the goal of delivering practical knowledge and the latest updates in the field.
We perceived the conference as highly professional and focused on the enterprise segment. However, we were surprised by how little attention was given to the key role ISPs play in securing small and medium-sized businesses.
For our FLOWCUTTER team, it was crucial to listen closely and identify potential future collaborations. The discussions provided us with valuable insights for optimizing our solutions and adapting our strategies to the current security needs.

It was fascinating to observe the confrontation of two worlds with different approaches to security. It seems to us that this difference is not due to a lack of expertise, but primarily because of the limited budgets allocated for protecting businesses that are not considered “critical infrastructure” or multinational corporations.

With FLOWCUTTER and its team, led by our CEO Matej Pavelka, we shared our insights in a presentation titled: “Networks Don’t Lie.”
“The presentation focuses on an underrated source of truth (netflow data), which you can rely on when other security and forensic data sources are compromised (or too expensive).
Various aspects are illustrated through a security incident that began at the ISP level and eventually ended in the OT network of a small to medium-sized business. We walk through the steps of the kill-chain to see what traces were left at each step in the network logs, what additional context could be gathered from the network layer, the degree of certainty with which it could have been detected, and how some steps can be mitigated or even completely prevented.”
