Quote:The data centre in Kragujevac is specially designed for data storage, in a location considered less risky.
Its data protection measures are much better than those of individual state institutions, said Ana Toskic Cvetinovic, executive director of Partners Serbia, which, among other things, works on promoting personal data protection.
“For example, what happened with the Cadastre [records] last year shows how unprepared individual institutions and their IT sectors are to manage and protect data,” Toskic Cvetinovic told BIRN, referring to a hacker attack on the Serbian cadastral register in June 2022 that blocked the system for a week.
But it’s not only hackers who pose a threat. Data is at risk of political abuse, too.
“The issue of data storage can be more problematic from the political side of potential abuses and the introduction of new digital surveillance systems” than from “system intrusion by hackers”, Toskic Cvetinovic said. “Such attacks are of course possible, but I think that those risks exist more for individual systems than for the data centre.”
However, if there is an attack, she warned, the fact such databases are centralised magnifies the potential impact.
“These are not only state bases; the idea is to give that storage space to other domestic and foreign businesses as well.”
