The Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS) and Telekom Srbija have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance information and cybersecurity for businesses in Serbia. The initiative aims to raise awareness of cyber threats, identify vulnerabilities, and provide practical support to institutions and companies of all sizes across the country. The memorandum was signed by Marko Čadež, President of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, and Vladimir Lučić, CEO of Telekom Srbija.
“In today’s geopolitically unstable world, even states are investing in technologies for cyber and hacker attacks, meaning that all companies, to some extent, will face cyber threats in the coming years. The development of artificial intelligence further increases the risk, creating possibilities for significant damage and manipulation. Therefore, every company relying on the internet as a core part of its operations must assess its level of risk and ways to protect itself,” said Lučić.
He added that Telekom Srbija, thanks to its expertise, technological capacities, and strong connections with U.S. companies and cybersecurity institutions, can provide the latest software solutions tailored to modern threats.
“Our advantage is that we have multiple centers in Serbia, including a 24-hour call center where companies can immediately seek advice and support in case of a cyberattack,” Lučić noted.
Marko Čadež emphasized that protecting all Serbian companies from cyberattacks is a shared priority for PKS and Telekom Srbija. “This is an issue that concerns all of us, as it pertains to security in cyberspace. Defending against cyber threats requires skilled professionals, knowledge, and reliable protection systems, and Telekom Srbija is the right partner to develop appropriate solutions,” said Čadež.
The joint PKS-Telekom project will have several components. The first allows companies, regardless of size, to assess their current cybersecurity status, identify vulnerabilities, and evaluate the potential impact of a cyberattack. The second component focuses on education, including workshops and seminars in Belgrade and all 17 regional chambers of commerce across Serbia, aiming to reach especially small and medium-sized enterprises that may not fully understand the risks.
“Companies will also have access to tailored protection packages, offering a basic level of security adapted to the type of company, its operations, and identified risks,” Čadež added.
