The Romanian Computer Incident Response Team (CERT-RO) is pleased to announce the VII-the edition of the Annual International Conference „The New Global Challenges in Cyber Security” that will take place between 30th of October – 1st of November 2017 in Bucharest, Romania.
Scope
This year’s conference aims to provide a mix of debates, presentations and workshops that address technical and policy issues related to Cyber Security in Romania, Europe and beyond. We aim to bring together 200+ cyber experts, government officials and policy-makers, as well as representatives of private companies from across all sectors and industries, NGOs and Academia.
In the context of ongoing efforts to transpose and implement the NIS Directive and the EU General Data Protection Regulation, as well as with a view to address other regulatory and policy challenges, the first day of the event will be dedicated to presentations from EU and Government officials and policy debates in parallel meeting rooms. This will provide an opportunity to share ideas and best practices with other Member States and various stakeholders.
The last day is dedicated to plenary sessions and parallel tracks, where leading experts (from the public and private sector), industry leaders and representatives of CERTs worldwide will present the latest challenges to cyber security, future trends as well as updates on solutions and technologies dedicated to operators of essential services in the banking, transport, energy and other sectors.
