ETSI hosted 14 webinars in June 2020 focusing on four key cybersecurity topics: secure 5G deployment across market sectors, the Cybersecurity Act and new IoT security standards, the Smart Secure Platform ecosystem, and advanced cryptography including quantum-safe methods and fully homomorphic encryption. The virtual format successfully balanced high-level and technical presentations, fostering dynamic Q&A sessions and reaching a broad audience despite the challenges of the pandemic. While organizers noted the loss of face-to-face networking opportunities, the event achieved strong attendance by allowing remote participation and saving travel costs. Recorded presentations and slide sets are now available on the ETSI website for those who missed the live sessions.
