Cybersecurity Is Not Just a Law. It's a Matter of Company Survival
Jan Pich openly describes how the cybersecurity team at EY was created and gradually grew, which competencies companies need most today, and why it is increasingly difficult to find quality experts. A significant topic is also the impact of artificial intelligence on work in cybersecurity and the risk that, with the rise of automation, there is less room for junior specialists to develop.
In this episode of CZECH CYBER TV, the guest is Jan Pich, Cyber Security Director at EY. The interview focuses on how the perspective on cybersecurity is changing in the Czech Republic — and why today it is no longer just about meeting legal obligations, but about the very operation and survival of companies.

A significant topic is also the impact of artificial intelligence on work in cybersecurity and the risk that, with the rise of automation, there is less room for junior specialists to develop.
A large part of the interview is devoted to the new cybersecurity law and the real readiness of Czech companies. Concrete experiences are shared on how the approach differs between regulated organizations and those encountering regulation for the first time, and why security can no longer be handled merely "on paper."
The interview also touches on broader societal topics — the influence of influencers, deepfake technologies, and the need for systematic education of employees and the public. According to Jan Pich, cybersecurity is not an isolated IT topic but an area that increasingly overlaps with business, corporate governance, and everyday life.
