Beyond the Firewall: Why Stories Shape Cyber Decisions
2026-02-18 17:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Helsinki) | Peoplebank Sydney IT Recruitment 345 George Street #Level 13 Sydney, NSW 2000 Australia
Overview

Firewalls don’t persuade. Stories do. Join us for a fascination keynote and discussion on how narrative shapes cyber decisions and behaviour

Beyond the Firewall: Why Stories Shape Cyber Decisions

Cybersecurity decisions are rarely driven by frameworks, policies, or tools alone. They are shaped by people, experience, context, and the stories we tell ourselves and others about risk, responsibility, and consequence.

Beyond the Firewall brings together senior cyber and technology leaders to explore why storytelling plays such a powerful role in shaping cyber decisions. From boardrooms and incident response rooms to public narratives and media headlines, the stories that land are often the ones that influence behaviour, funding, trust, and action.

This evening’s keynote presentation and panel discussion will move past technical controls and compliance checklists to focus on lived experience. Expect thoughtful reflections on moments that changed perspectives, stories that helped bridge the gap between technical teams and decision makers, and why the ability to communicate risk clearly and credibly is now a core cyber capability.

Designed for cybersecurity professionals, business leaders, risk and governance practitioners, and anyone responsible for influencing cyber outcomes, this event will offer practical insight into how stories can clarify complexity, humanise risk, and ultimately lead to better decisions.

Join the Cybersecurity Advisors Network (CyAN) for an engaging evening of conversation, insight, and connection as we kick off the 2026 events calendar in Sydney.

A small thank you to early arrivals: the first 15 guests on the night will receive a complimentary gift, with further door prizes announced after the panel.

IT Governance: What’s to Integrate for Life Science Industries
2026-03-26 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/Helsinki)
Cybersecurity is no longer only an IT topic. It has become a governance issue, a regulatory priority, and increasingly a board level responsibility.

CyAN Board Member Gergely Dzsinich will speak as a plenary speaker at ICSVC 2026 – the International Computerized System Validation Congress in Lyon.

Gergely advises global organisations across regulated sectors on cybersecurity, data protection, privacy and incident response. He combines deep legal expertise with operational cybersecurity insight, helping companies navigate complex regulatory environments while building resilient organisations.

He is the Co Managing Partner of Eversheds Sutherland Budapest and serves as an Adjunct Professor at emlyon business school in Lyon, one of the world’s top ranked business schools.

As artificial intelligence systems expand across GMP environments and digital infrastructures become critical assets, organisations in the life sciences sector must rethink how cybersecurity governance integrates with quality systems, regulatory compliance and operational continuity.

This session will explore how leaders can integrate NIS2, ISO 27001 and cybersecurity governance into life sciences environments as regulatory expectations and operational risks continue to evolve.

This represents strong CyAN representation at the forefront of European cyber governance discussions.

Trust & Safety Forum
2026-03-31 00:00 - 2026-04-01 23:59 (Europe/Helsinki)
The Trust & Safety Forum (TSF) is a dynamic space that brings together changemakers shaping the digital future—whether through technology (AI, genAI, cloud computing, smart devices), policy, or advocacy.

At TSF, we spotlight emerging trends, foster collaboration, and bring forward innovative solutions to keep the digital environment a space for knowledge-sharing, community-building, opportunity, and empowerment.

Trust & Safety is a discipline alongside the digital security that empowers organisations and people against illegal content (e.g. image-based sexual abuse of minors and adults, hate and discrimination, terrorism), protect minors from inadequate content, and protect democraties from disinformation and election interference. Crucially, it promotes proactive strategies that embed safeguards into online systems from the outset..Our proven hybrid approach, day 1 open panel discussions and day 2 of closed workshops, provides our partners and speakers with what they need for their work: fresh perspectives from the community and meaningful interactions with seasoned experts.

Online safety is a global challenge demanding global coordination—but its solutions must also be locally grounded.

Virtual round table — The Cyber Resilience Act: Practical Implications for Supply Chains
2026-06-24 16:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
CyAN is co-hosting a virtual round table on the EU Cyber Resilience Act — The Cyber Resilience Act: Practical Implications for Supply Chains — on Wednesday 24 June 2026, in collaboration with the SCCS Summit Network and 1CxO CSA. The session continues a discussion our panelists began at the SCCS Summit in Munich (22–24 April 2026).

Registration: https://sccybersecurity.com/sccs-summit-network/

The CRA is no longer theoretical — it’s operational. From September 2026, companies placing digital products on the EU market must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and serious incidents within 24 hours, with full conformity and CE marking following in December 2027. And it doesn’t stop at the manufacturer’s door — importers, distributors, and even open-source stewards are pulled into the compliance chain. Cyber risk now travels with the product, and with everyone who touches it.

Tereza Jášková – Managing Director & Senior Legal Counsel, Alpiq

Rolf A. Becker – Co-Chair, Cloud Security Alliance (Swiss Chapter)

John Salomon (moderator) – Board member, Cybersecurity Advisors Network (CyAN)

A legal and enterprise perspective from a major energy group, and a cloud and ecosystem perspective drawn from years of multi-tier supplier governance — with room throughout for audience questions and discussion.

A big thanks to Bharat Raigangar of 1CxOCSA for helping to organise and facilitate this conversation!

The CRA in brief

The Cyber Resilience Act — Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 — is the first EU-wide law to set baseline cybersecurity requirements for “products with digital elements,” covering nearly all hardware and software placed on the EU market. Unlike NIS2, it regulates the products themselves, across their whole lifecycle. As a regulation rather than a directive, it is directly applicable in all member states, with no national transposition.

In practice, the CRA requires manufacturers to:

design and build products that are secure by default, with no *known exploitable* vulnerabilities at the time of release, meeting the Act’s risk-based essential requirements;

handle vulnerabilities across the product’s lifecycle and provide free security updates for a defined support period (a minimum of five years, unless the product’s expected use is shorter);

maintain a software bill of materials (SBOM) and apply the CE marking as proof of conformity;

report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents to ENISA’s Single Reporting Platform.

Crucially, the obligations don’t stop at the manufacturer. Importers, distributors, and even certain open-source software stewards are pulled into the framework. Most products can be self-assessed; “important” and “critical” categories face stricter conformity assessment. Penalties run up to €15 million or 2.5% of global annual turnover, the Act applies extraterritorially, and there is targeted relief for open-source stewards and SMEs.

Why it matters for the supply chain

Accountability sits with the manufacturer, but the evidence — SBOMs, vulnerability data, control assurance — is scattered across every supplier and sub-processor.

Meeting the CRA’s tight reporting timelines (a 24-hour early warning from the moment you become aware of an actively exploited vulnerability or severe incident) depends on visibility that reaches well below your Tier-1 suppliers, into cloud services and nth-tier subcontractors. SBOMs are now a legal requirement — yet many remain static documents that fall apart the moment they are needed during a live incident.

For third-party risk teams, the CRA reshapes due diligence, contracts, and continuous monitoring, and it lands hardest on the long tail of smaller suppliers. It is, at once, a supply-chain problem, a product-design problem, and a governance problem.

Implementation timeline

*Watch item:* the proposed Digital Omnibus (19 November 2025) would introduce a single EU entry point for incident reporting and adjust early-reporting timing. It is not yet law.
