The Privacy Rules Espresso podcast recently discussed key issues related to cybersecurity in the Czech Republic. The guest was Michaela Holíková, Associate at ROWAN LEGAL, who provided details of the current warning issued by the National Cybersecurity and Information Security Authority (NÚKIB). The authority has recently focused on the products and services of DeepSeek, a Chinese technology provider. These products and services may pose security threats.
The NÚKIB warning is legally binding for entities covered by the Czech Cybersecurity Act. Michaela Holíková explained that organisations must conduct a risk analysis to determine if they use DeepSeek’s technology. This analysis helps identify what threats the technology may pose. Based on this analysis, they should take measures such as restricting access, replacing the technology or introducing new security measures.
How does international cooperation, especially through EU and NATO, play a role in addressing the DeepSeek warning? Why is DeepSeek compared to technologies like Chat GPT, and what specific concerns does its Chinese origin raise?
