A Comprehensive Forum for EU Cyber Leadership: The Global Standard for Cross-Border Certification
As the largest independent event for the cyber certification of ICT products and networks, the EU Cyber Acts Conference will help international developers come up to speed on the leadership of the European Union in setting the benchmark standards for cyber security and resilience. Years ahead of other national efforts, EU standards and certification procedures for information technology, communications technology, data protection, and privacy in technology products and networks are mature, tested, and will provide a model for future certification frameworks around the world. Join with colleagues from 27 countries as the convene to learn how Europe’s rigorous certification processes are creating safer products, providing access to a large European market, and building a foundation for global frameworks.
An Independent Forum, Designed for a Global Audience
For the seventh year, the EU Cyber Acts Conference will bring together product developers and the standards community from 27 countries to prepare for the coming evolution of risk-based frameworks that will address market fragmentation across borders. Topics include 5G Standards, IoT Schemes, Artificial Intelligence, Industrial Automation Control Systems (IACS), ETSI EN 303645, CEN/CENELEC JTC13 WG3, EUCC, Union Rolling Work Programme (URWP), NIS Directive, Cloud Standards, Lightweight Standards, IACS, SESIP, Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL), and Global Platform. Register for the EU Cyber Acts Conference today and prepare for what’s to come.
Meet in Brussels: Command Center for the Future of EU Cybersecurity
As host city for the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, Brussels is at the center of efforts to increase the safety of the EU’s digital environment. ENISA, the EU Agency for Network and Information Security, is empowered by the EU Cyber Act to support EU Member States against cybersecurity threats and attacks. The city also hosts many agencies, non-government organizations, and private companies that support these efforts.
Who Should Attend
Conference topics will be of interest to the entire standards community, including Certification Bodies, Evaluation Laboratories, Researchers, Evaluators, Policy Makers, Product Developers, Sellers and Buyers interested in the specification, development, evaluation, and certification of IT security in Europe, North America and Asia.
Presented in Conjunction With
AI Cyber Day will focus on the global development of cybersecurity certification frameworks tailored specifically for AI systems. Both the EU and the US are actively developing regulatory frameworks that will establish a set of common criteria, methodologies, and evaluation processes to assess the security and resilience of data products that incorporate AI technologies. AI Cyber Day will bring you up to date on efforts to develop these frameworks, the outlook for future regulation, and best practices to mitigate cybersecurity risks and insure compliance throughout the AI lifecycle.

IoT Cyber Compliance Day
New for 2025, IoT Cyber Compliance Day is an optional special-focus event which will help industry professionals prepare now for the requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), an emerging regulatory framework that requires manufacturers to implement and maintain security standards throughout a product’s lifecycle. IoT Cyber Compliance Day will cover key questions for professionals affected by these fast-developing global frameworks, showcase real world examples of product developers preparing for rollout, present approaches to overlapping global standards (including Cyber Trust Mark in the United States), and lay out the pros and cons of certification. Complete details will be posted in November.
