Mijo Šarčević, Ph.D., Head of department in the IT sector at Kaufland Hrvatska, held two lectures for undergraduate and graduate students specializing in Information and communication traffic. 

The first lecture, titled Planning, building, and maintaining secure IT infrastructure, was held on May 19, 2025. Ph.D. Šarčević explained the process of planning and building a data center, focusing on elements of cybersecurity, physical security, and information security. The lecture highlighted elements that significantly enhance security and thereby increase the longevity of the data center. 

The second lecture, titled Security risks associated with ICT outsourcing, was held on May 26, 2025.

During this lecture, Ph.D. Šarčević explained the key risks of outsourcing IT services, such as the loss of control over sensitive dana and processes, which can lead to security incidents – dana leaks, unauthorized access, insufficient system protection, and non-compliance with regulations such as GDPR. Special emphasis was placed on operational challenges that arise when responsibilities and obligations between the client and the external company are not clearly defined.

We thank Mr. Šarčević for his valuable and timely lectures, which brought real-world security challenges close to the students.
