10th Cybersecurity Standardisation Conference

Shaping the Future of European Cyber Standards

The European Standardisation Organisations CEN, CENELEC and ETSI, join forces with ENISA, the EU Agency for Cybersecurity, to organise the 10th Cybersecurity Standardisation Conference. This anniversary event addresses challenges and opportunities for EU standardisation activities, legislative impacts on standardisation, standards for the Cyber Resilience Act, and the way forward for European standardisation in an evolving global ecosystem.

Conference Focus

This 10th anniversary gathering examines where European standardisation stands in the global ecosystem and where it is heading amid expanding legislative requirements and evolving cybersecurity threats. The conference addresses how recent legal acts impact standardisation processes while exploring standards development for implementing the Cyber Resilience Act—a gamechanger for European cybersecurity—and engaging in interactive discussion on the future of standardisation in Europe.

Key Topics Covered

Challenges and Opportunities for EU Standardisation: Examining where European standardisation activities stand in the global standardisation ecosystem and future directions for development.

Legislative Landscape and Standardisation Impact: Mapping European standardisation activities, new legal acts, and their impact on standardisation processes and priorities.

Future of EU Standardisation: Interactive discussion on the way forward for standardisation in Europe addressing emerging challenges and opportunities.

What to Expect

This anniversary conference brings together standardisation experts, policymakers, industry representatives, and cybersecurity professionals to examine how European cybersecurity standardisation evolves in response to legislative developments and global dynamics. Through presentations and interactive discussions, participants gain insights into standardisation challenges, legislative impacts, Cyber Resilience Act implementation, and collaborative approaches for advancing European cybersecurity standards that support both regulatory compliance and technological innovation.
