The National Cyber Security Directorate (DNSC) organizes for the second time the event “Bucharest Cybersecurity Conference”, in physical format, on October 12-13 at ROMEXPO.
The event is a continuation of the #CERTCON series of conferences, which, in our opinion, had an important impact on the field of cyber security in Romania.
The #CERTCON conference series brought together cybersecurity experts, government officials and policy makers, as well as representatives of private companies from various fields and industries, NGOs and academia.
We are delighted to extend our warmest invitation to you for the upcoming Bucharest Cybersecurity Conference 2023, dedicated to exploring the crucial aspects of cyber security policy, regulations, and industry-specific challenges within the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
The Bucharest Cybersecurity Conference is an exceptional gathering of industry experts, thought leaders, policymakers, and professionals, providing a platform to discuss and address the most pressing concerns facing the cyber security ecosystem today.
