International Telecommunication Union (ITU), along with the Swiss Embassy in Romania and the CERT-RO, supported the Central European Cybersecurity public-private dialogue platform.
A selected panel of independent specialists and Romanian prominent personalities in the field participated, in order to promote useful dialogue between states, IT security actors and consumers.
Security professionals and policy and decision makers from Romania's neighboring countries were invited as guest speakers. The main goal of the event was to create an open dialogue between Romania, other countries from central Europe, and industry players, in order to improve information sharing and cooperation in the field of cybersecurity.
The aim of this neutral and non-marketing event was to be a vital and interactive dialogue platform between decision-makers and IT specialists. The challenge was to create, through specific workshops, a prolific and useful debate, allowing every participant to gather in just 2 days as much information and networking he needs, either for a 360° understanding of the principles of the newest security problems and how to face them, or for specialists, to see how cases were treated in different countries and which, among the different approaches presented, could be useful for their own company or institution.
Besides, a pre-conference training day (with official attestation), tailor-suited for non-technical decision-makers, allowed CEOs and CETs who desired to have the necessary basic background and awareness to interact as much as possible with the conference key-speakers for the specific needs they identified according to their business specificities and be acquainted with all the competent Romanian State institutions and services which could help them in case of security issues.
