Mijo Šarčević, Ph.D, Head of Department in the IT sector at Kaufland Croatia, delivered his second guest lecture on May 26, 2025, to undergraduate and graduate students of Transport Studies, specializing in Information and Communication Transport. The topic of the lecture was "Security risks associated with ICT outsourcing."
The first lecture, titgled "Planning, Building, and Maintaining Secure IT infrastructure", was held on May 19, 2025.
During the second lecture, Mijo Šarčević, Ph.D. explained the key risks associated with IT service outsourcing, such as the loss of control over sensitive data and processes, which can lead to security incidents – including data leaks, unauthorized access, insufficient system protection, and non-compliance with regulations such as the GDPR. Special attention was given to operational challenges that arise when responsibilities and obligations between the service client and the external provider are not clearly defined.
We thank Mijo Šarčević, Ph.D for his valuable lectures, which provided students with insight into real-world security challenges.
