Quote from Conference Program Director

The 2024 conference program will focus extensively on the regulatory frameworks emerging under the new EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).  “The CRA is a watershed event for the cybersecurity of both consumer and industrial products worldwide. Compared to existing frameworks, it aims to regulate product security at the supplier level, imposing new obligations on manufacturers, importers and distributors. This directly affects all of our participants and we’ve expanded the focus of the event to keep them updated,” said conference program director Wouter Slegers, CEO, TrustCB.
