Programme

Erik is actively engaged in several professional activities. As such he founded TrustCore.EU, he executed several assignments private and public sector (European Commission, Federal Government, Flemish Government, Euroclear, Infrabel,  Electrabel, BPost, ENISA, etc). Currently his main focusses are on the topics of Openbanking and Security Architecture at BNP Paribas Fortis as well as the wide topic of the new Trust Regulation en the European Digital Identity Wallet in collaboration with the EU Member States.

In his spare time, Erik is also Topic Leader “Security Architecture Management” at Solvay Brussels School and a member of the Vlaamse Toezichtcommissie (Flemish DPA). With his knowledge and experience, Erik is the ideal person to guide the conference as chair of the day

The future of cybersecurity for companies and more especially for their CISO has never been more open. AI are threatening, quantum technology is knocking at the door and new regulations eat a part of the capacity. Who would be smart enough to predict the end of this story. Guided by Alexandre Pluvinage, expert in cybersecurity, the audience will swim in time, play the oracle and predict what tomorrow will bring us in the field of cybersecurity.

This forward-looking presentation explores the evolving cybersecurity landscape through the lens of geopolitical dynamics and emerging technologies. Drawing from ENISA’s threat intelligence framework, Rayna’s talk examines how artificial intelligence and cyber warfare capabilities are reshaping national security paradigms. Key focus areas include the convergence of state-sponsored cyber operations with commercial threats, the weaponisation of emerging technologies, and the transformation of critical infrastructure vulnerabilities.

The presentation offfers strategic insights into preparing for future cyber challenges while highlighting the importance of international cooperation in building cyber resilience. Special attention will be given to the European cybersecurity posture and its role in shaping global cyber defense strategies towards 2030.

Accelerating developments in the field of quantum computing will bring disruptive challenges to cybersecurity. Organizations will need to adapt to the risk posed by quantum computers, which will have the potential to break many of the cryptographic systems that we rely on today and that are nested largely and deeply in our infrastructure. We are at risk already right now, as encrypted communications are stored by attackers to be decrypted years later with quantum computers (aka “store-now-decrypt-later attack”). Migration to quantum-safe solutions is inevitable. National governments are urging the industries to prepare for “Post-Quantum Cryptography”. In this roundtable, we will objectivate the risk and discuss strategies. What is the sense of urgency? Is your company developing a policy and mobilizing teams? How to conduct a diagnosis? How to implement for crypto-agility? How to plan for migration? What about the supply chain risk? Join this roundtable together with your peers to gain new insights and to prepare for resilience against evolving cyber threats.
