The CYBERSTAND Annual Event is the flagship gathering of the CYBERSTAND.eu project.
This year's edition will take place at a strategic moment, the shift from the development of horizontal standards for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which address cross-sectoral cybersecurity requirements applicable to all digital products and services, towards the development of vertical standards, tailored to the specific needs of individual sectors and product categories.
The event is designed to support and guide this transition, providing a platform to promote the CYBERSTAND Specific Service Procedures (SSPs), while strengthening collaboration with initiatives like STAN4CR.
Participants will benefit from a rich agenda that includes:
- CRA Status and Implementation Update: An overview of the CRA implementation timeline, key challenges, and how standardisation efforts are being aligned.
- Essential Requirements in Practice: A practical session explaining the CRA's essential requirements with concrete examples, supported by an interactive survey to assess awareness and implementation.
- Pathways to Compliance: A discussion covering self-assessment, third-party conformity assessment, and the role of standards in simplifying CRA compliance.
- Horizontal and Vertical Standards Roadmap: A status update on the development of horizontal and vertical standards under the CRA Standardisation Request, highlighting recent progress and future milestones.
- How and Why You Should Contribute to Standards: Insights into the benefits of participating in the CRA standardisation activities.
- Breakout Sessions on Vertical Standards and SME Challenges: Interactive workshops focusing on sector-specific standardisation priorities and SME-specific challenges, producing actionable recommendations and policy inputs.
This event is a unique opportunity for standardisation bodies, policymakers, industry stakeholders, SMEs, and Open Source community members to align, exchange ideas, and shape the next phase of CRA-related standardisation work.
