The Cyber Security Coalition is organizing several experience sharing activities on the NIS Directive with the aim to bring together the needs of security professionals, public authorities, and the relevant industries for a constructive dialogue and exchange of experiences on implementation approaches and issues.

These activities fit within the ‘Cybersecurity in Industry 4.0’ project – a living lab focussing on industrial security. This project has been launched by HOWEST/ UGhent and is funded by the Vlaio (Flemish government). The Cyber Security Coalition is a partner of both academic institutions in this project.

In previous workshops we discussed NIS implementation in the water distribution industry and transport sector. In a new series of webinars we are going to put the digital infrastructures and Digital Service Providers (DSPs) in the spotlight.

Webinar – 7 September 2020 – 11:00 a.m. – The DSP supervisory strategy of the Federal Public Service Economy – Marc Wouters, Digital Trust and Metrological Trust Advocate FPS Economy

The FPS Economy is the competent authority in charge of the supervision of the NIS Directive for the DSPs. The mission of the FPS is to create the conditions for a competitive, sustainable and balanced operation of the goods and services market in Belgium. In this perspective, the FPS Economy intends to know and supervise the market for goods and services to better stimulate it. In this webinar Marc Wouters will explain the DSP supervision strategy of the FPS Economy as a market surveillance authority and the challenges that the NIS law brings in this context, from knowledge building to maturing insights.
