Odyssey participated at the 14th IELKA Conference

Apostolos Pandroulas has been invited as an expert keynote speaker on cybersecurity at the 14^th IELKA conference titled “Intelligent Retail for Smarter Shoppers: Gamechangers & Innovations”, on November 30 at the OTE Academy.

The IELKA Conference is widely recognized as the preeminent event in the organized Food Retail sector in Greece. In the face of ongoing crises such as the pandemic, wars, inflation, and other challenges, the Retail sector finds itself navigating a new, highly demanding landscape characterized by constant changes, heightened speeds, increased operational costs, discerning consumers, and the integration of new technologies. This marks a transformative era for the industry and the economy at large.

Attendees had the chance to find out more about insightful statistics derived from our SOC report, highlighting the increase in Malware Activity, Ransomware Incidents, and Data Exfiltration. In his speech, Apostolos Pandroulas provided a profound understanding of the challenges confronting retailers during that period and how they can overcome them, building cyber resilient organizations.
