Information Security Without Complex Terminology: Key Takeaways from the Expert Webinar

The Association Continues to Strengthen Expert Support for IT Companies

On February 17, 2026, the Association of Georgian Virtual Zone Persons, together with Just Advisors, hosted a practical online webinar titled “The Basics of Information Security in Simple Words: What Every Business Owner Really Needs to Know.”

The session was opened by the Chairperson of the Association, Shorena Kopaleishvili, who thanked the partners at Just Advisors and the speaker, Sergey Bagrov, for their collaboration and expert contribution to strengthening the professional ecosystem.

The webinar brought together representatives of IT companies, entrepreneurs, and business leaders. Participants received a practical overview of key information security principles — explained without complex technical terminology, but with a clear focus on real business risks and practical application.

Presentation materials will be shared with Association members.

Why Information Security Is Critical Today

One of the key messages of the session was that information security is no longer purely a technical matter.

Today, it directly impacts:

— business resilience
— corporate legal responsibility
— protection of client data
— competitiveness in international markets.

As highlighted by the speaker, most modern cyberattacks are not targeted but automated. Systems continuously scan the internet for vulnerabilities, meaning that companies of any size — regardless of industry — face real exposure.

Topics That Generated the Greatest Interest

During the session, several topics were addressed that are rarely covered in basic overviews but represent significant legal and operational risks for businesses.

Key discussion points included:

— where the boundary lies between technical protection and legal liability
— why even technically secure organizations may remain vulnerable
— common mistakes business leaders tend to underestimate
— practical measures that can significantly improve security without major investment.

Participants showed particular interest in real-world attack scenarios and practical examples of situations that appear safe at first glance but can lead to serious consequences in practice.

Live Discussion and Participant Engagement

The final part of the webinar was held as an open discussion. The Chairperson of the Association, Shorena Kopaleishvili, together with participants, raised practical questions for the speaker regarding real business scenarios, legal risks, and common mistakes companies make when working with data, cloud services, and distributed teams.

This format helped move the conversation beyond theory and provided participants with practical guidance and actionable insights.
