Webinar : Cybersecurity, trusted cloud and strategic autonomy: a NL-FR exchange of views

Date: 
17/03/2021

For the EU Commissioner for the Internal Market Thierry Breton,
"Europe's cybersecurity is about to change dimension"

The "Strategic Autonomy and Cybersecurity in the Netherlands" report published on February 25 by the Dutch Cyber Security Council (CSR) states that "the challenges and threats to strategic autonomy in cybersecurity are too important not to be viewed from a broad perspective and be taken up at the top. "

Indeed, the rapid spread of the multifaceted concept of strategic autonomy across Europe, particularly in the Netherlands and France, has been catalyzed by recent major statements from European public leaders and institutions, namely Thierry Breton, as mentioned above, French President Macron who announced a billion euros investment plan for cybersecurity, or the encouraging development of the European sovereign cloud GAIA-X. Digital trust challenges have now reached the top priorities in the political agendas!

In the wake of these latest developments, Dutch and French CISOs, experts and officials will give their take on the cybersecurity and strategic autonomy challenges faced by Europe.

Wednesday 17 March – 8h30

  • What is a European trusted cloud?
  • Are Dutch and French needs identical in this matter?
  • Do sovereign cybersecurity tools really make sense for private companies?
  • Can EU standards and certifications provide sufficient guarantee in terms of cybersecurity?
