Description
Join the SECURE 1st Dissemination Day in Rome or online to explore how European mSMEs can strengthen their cybersecurity posture and prepare for the implementation of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

EU Parliament Office in Rome, Piazza Venezia 11
Why to attend?
The Cyber Resilience Act represents a major milestone in the EU cybersecurity regulatory framework, introducing horizontal cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements throughout their lifecycle.
For many micro, small- and medium-sized enterprises, especially in manufacturing and technology-intensive sectors, the CRA represents both a regulatory challenge and an opportunity to strengthen resilience, trust and competitiveness.
The SECURE project contributes to this transition by supporting European and EEA mSMEs in understanding CRA requirements and adopting a security-by-design approach, through guidance, training, practical tools and funding.
This first dissemination event brings together SMEs, industry associations, policymakers, cybersecurity experts and competence centres to:
- Provide an overview of the policy background and objectives of the CRA
- Discuss the practical implications of the CRA for mSMEs, including challenges and opportunities
- Present the SECURE project and its contribution to CRA implementation
- Introduce the project’s support framework, including CRA guidelines and its first Open Call
- Facilitate dialogue between institutions, industry and technical experts
