"if you have not done anything yet, start today! August 2025 is only 15 months away." Insightful post! The RED's cybersecurity extensions, though briefly stated, signal significant shifts for compliance very soon. Early preparation aligns with the directive's security-first approach to mitigate extensive vendor impacts, especially given the nuances discussed around market applicability. Vendors must proactively adapt to avoid bottlenecks with notified bodies as we near implementation. Start leveraging on #CyberPass platform's capabilities in simplifying your product's cybersecurity compliance with regulations such as PSTI, RED, and CRA, ensuring you navigate the complexities of regulations with ease and efficiency. https://www.cyber-pass.eu/ #RED #Automation #Platform #Conformity

Interesting report by Dutch Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum (NCSC-NL) about ongoing state-sponsored cyber espionage campaign by exploiting a vulnerability affecting #FortiGate devices. The state actor gained access to at least 20.000 FortiGate devices globally within a few months in both 2022 and 2023. Targets were several Western governments and diplomatic institutions as well as numerous companies operating in the defense industry: https://lnkd.in/ee4x4bNz #cybersecurity

Do we really want to sell cybersecurity with pink skirts? 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s 2024. We work hard every day to make women visible in cyber and attract those hesitant to join. Women4Cyber Belgium is doing an incredible job. Yet, according to the ISC2 survey, women still only make up 25% of the cyber workforce — a mere 1% increase from 2023. The journey is still challenging, and we need more support to bring women into cyber. Using #stereotypical marketing strategies might be a commercial tactic, but is it responsible? Is this the image we want for our women and daughters? Let’s aim for progress and inclusivity, not outdated stereotypes 🙌. Together, men & women, we are stronger! #CyberSecurity #WomenInTech #Women4Cyber #InclusiveMarketing Cybersec Europe 2024

#NIS2 transposition in the Netherlands is delayed until Q3 2025, missing the deadline by almost a year. In contrast, Belgium was the first to publish the 'NIS2 Law' in April 2024. The Cybersecurity Centre Belgium also provided clarity on how to comply to the new legal requirements: the #CyFun framework, which is based on NIST CSF, ISO 27001/2, CIS Controls, and IEC 62443. With Modelverse, it is easy and efficient to manage your cybersecurity risks and implement the CyFun framework, without using Excel. #cybersecurity #riskmanagement #NIS2

EU ICT Regulations - AI act, MiCA, DORA, GDPR, EIDAS2.0 An information systems infrastructure and operations architecture approach. In my last presentation about MiCA I said.... “Hopefully the presentation showed that web 3 , digital asset regulatory systems infrastructure at scale and its information governance, consistency , accuracy (pedigree), dynamics and real time performance will be foundational for the new Internet . We have the experience and systems tools in the cuMesh platform to create a POC demonstrator for the MiCA application and EU infrastructure… We will post an update on such developments in a few weeks..” A few weeks have passed so here is an update.. Not just MiCA this time but the key set of EU finance sector regulations from an infrastructure systems engineering perspective.  We close off this with: “Hopefully this update presentation shows that web 3 , digital asset regulatory systems infrastructure at scale and its information governance, consistency , accuracy (pedigree), dynamics and real time performance will be foundational for the new Internet . We have the experience and systems tools in the cuMesh platform to create a POC demonstrator for the EU critical applications and EU governed infrastructure… We will post an update on such developments in another few weeks..” see cumesh.au

On 28.11 we run our signature deep-dive cybersecurity course for digital service startups and scale-ups across all sectors in Belgium. It will specifically concentrate on CEOs, COOs, VPs of Sales, VPs of Marketing, developers, QA engineers and support staff. Why does cybersecurity matter? USE TRUST AS A COMPETITIVE EDGE - In the digital age, trust is crucial. With stricter GDPR and upcoming CRA regulations, companies demand secure handling of sensitive data. Strong cybersecurity is not just compliance — it is a competitive advantage, especially when selling to corporates.  PROTECT YOUR BRAND AND HARD WORK - Cybercriminals are more aggressive and tech-savvy than ever. Data breaches are soaring, affecting more than just financial data. To stay in the game, you must meet strict cybersecurity standards such as the NIS 2.0 EU Directive. Secure-by-design is your ticket to retaining and attracting customers — no trust, no business.  SECURE-BY-DESIGN: DEVELOPERS HOLD THE KEYS - Over 80% of security breaches stem from human error. Cyber-literacy among your team is critical, and it’s about culture, not just tech. Developers are pivotal — since they often operate in small teams with diverse tasks and without dedicated security specialists. That is why we have worked out a programme to help them start with application security and security-by-design.   https://lnkd.in/e2Y3acSW

Despite all the concerns of the Cybersecurity specialists on privacy risks, our representatives in the EU seems to be deaf for arguments against ChatControl law. 😬 Breaking end-to-end encryption create more threats than it solves❗️ Every backdoor, front door, or “upload moderation” undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities In a time where our security and safety is under pressure we need to to increase our cyber resilience. #voteNO #chatcontrol #eu

Together with Growleo we would like to say the following: On behalf of our customers, we would like to stipulate that security needs to be put higher on the agenda and that more budgets should be allocated to this essential part of your company. Criminals use technology in the most advanced ways, in most of the times they are ahead of the game. They use AI to simulate human behaviour and in doing so, they make misuse of the weakest link within your organisation: your employees (real humans). They don't have to break into your home anymore, but they can just virtually break into your business and hold you hostage. One of our clients has been working in Cybersecurity for many years and they see that it takes too long for CEO's and CFO's to free up budget for security. Hiring a Ciso As A Service (CaaS) is a cost-effective solution to gain additional knowledge to create a strategic plan for the long-term security of your organisation. 10AM joined this project to reach out to C-level management in The Netherlands in order to raise awareness on Security and create valuable long-term relationships with our client to make the world more secure.
