13.30 – 15.30 Sovereign in a Connected World by Steven Vermeulen, CIO and Head of ICT @ Digitaal Vlaanderen, and Frederic Priem, Enterprise Architect @ xplus
Digital public services today are the product of an ecosystem — public bodies, private partners, and infrastructure providers working together — and that demands more than trust alone. Steven and Frederic share how Digitaal Vlaanderen is shaping the digital foundation of the Flemish government and its agencies to be resilient and sovereign: safeguarding critical infrastructure, reducing dependencies, and building autonomy in by design. A story about mature partnership in a fast-changing, connected world.
13.30 – 15.30 The Cyber Resilience Act is coming. Are you ready? by Dries Wouters, Strategic Architect @ spotit
The Cyber Resilience Act is transforming how products with digital elements are designed, secured and maintained throughout their lifecycle. In this session, you’ll discover what the CRA means for your organisation, which products are in scope, and how it influences organisations that are not directly impacted as well. The CRA also does not stand on its own, but fits in a larger legislative frame together with DORA, NIS2, the AI Act and others. We’ll explore the interplay between these legislations, and see how they are shaping Europe’s digital and cybersecurity landscape.
15.30 Visit Brewery Martens
