DIGITAL INNOVATION & EXPLOITATION FOR THE FUTURE

Join EEMA for one of Europe’s most important events in the privacy, e-identity, security and trust calendar. Now in its 33rd year, the EEMA Annual Conference is a must attend event and this year, with the uncertainty of Brexit, the EEMA Annual Conference takes on greater significance than ever before.

As a non-profit think-tank, EEMA has the unrivalled ability to bring together technology experts, policy-makers and senior influencers from public, private and academic sector institutions from across Europe and beyond.

NEW - CEPS Webinars in collaboration with Wavestone and ICF

Part-1: 8 June from 11.00 to 13.00

Part-2: 11 June from 11.00 to 13.00

The new European Commission has put a strong emphasis on cybersecurity initiatives in the Communication on "Shaping Europe's Digital future". Among various actions, it has also anticipated the review of the Security of Network and Information Sytems (NIS) Directive.
In this context, I  would like to inform you that the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in Brussels  -an ECSO member -   jointly with Wavestone and ICF are launching a new study for the European Commission’s DG CNECT to “Support the review of the Directive (EU) 2016/1148 concerning measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union (NIS Directive)”.
This study’s aim is to assist the Commission in evaluating such an existing legal and policy framework by assessing the role the NIS Directive has played in ensuring an adequate level of protection of network and information systems across Europe. The study will also identify new policy concepts and measures that will contribute to increasing the level of European cybersecurity. Combining findings’ evaluation with a number of additional sources, the study will then tackle key problems in the area, including new issues, emerged since the adoption of the Directive in 2016, and will identify and analyze policy options to address them and assess their potential impacts.

As part of the study, CEPS is hosting the opening online workshops to present this new project and engage EU stakeholders in the review of the NIS Directive.
