The Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (RATEL), in the capacity of the National CERT of the Republic of Serbia, and the Serbian National Internet Domain Name Registry foundation (RNIDS) will be hosting, at 10h, on October 23, 2024, at the Radissson Old Mill Hotel in Belgrade, a national cyber conference aiming to provide, for the third year in a row, a comprehensive insight into the current and important cybersecurity topics, equally relevant for the economy, cyber security experts and modern technology private users.

This year, experts from international organizations will summarize the themes and processes that make local impact, so that the public will be able to get informed about the status, progress and models of the NIS2 Directive implementation in the EU countries. The current draft Law on Information Security will be discussed, including bottlenecks in the NIS2 Directive implementation in the national legislation, in view of the current international experience.

Next up, the National CERT’s activities over the last year will be presented, including relevant initiatives and projects made by other organizations, which all contribute to the cybersecurity capacity building.

A separate panel will be dedicated to the theme Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) which promotes an active participation of various interested parties in the research and vulnerability reporting, in order to decrease the underlying risk. This is one of the significant components of the NIS2 Directive and it will be discussed both from the point of view of the legislator and the protection of human rights during investigative procedures.

Furthermore, it will be discussed about an extensive array of threats from social networks – such as frauds, phishing messages, account thefts for extortion or identity abuse purposes, which compromise both private and business users. It will be highlighted how the threats evolve, is there a liability of platforms, but also what are recommendable safety measures that prevent risks.
