IACIPPs ‘CIP WEEK IN EUROPE’
20th-22nd October 2026, Brussels, Belgium
The International Association of Critical Infrastructure Protection Professionals (IACIPP) is hosting the 3rd CIP Week in Europe of ‘Critical Infrastructure Protection Week’ in Europe in Brussels, Belgium – an initiative focused towards enhancing collaboration and cooperation amongst the industry.
With the recent implementation of The Critical Entities Resilience Directive (CER Directive), which lays down obligations on EU Member States to take specific measures to ensure that essential services and infrastructures, for the maintenance of vital societal functions or economic activities, are provided in an unobstructed manner in the internal market.
The NIS2 Directive, also known as the Network and Information Security Directive, also a significant piece of legislation, is aimed at improving cyber security and protecting critical infrastructure across the European Union (EU), building on the previous NIS Directive, addressing its shortcomings and expanding its scope to enhance security requirements, reporting obligations, and crisis management capabilities.
Compliance with the CER Directive and NIS2 Directive are crucial for businesses operating in the EU to safeguard their systems, mitigate threats, and ensure resilience. Penalties are enforceable on agencies and operators for non-compliance.
In light of the forthcoming challenges with the Directives, and the ever increasing threats against European critical infrastructures, IACIPP’s ‘CIP Week’ in Europe is designed to also help raise awareness and promote greater collaboration amongst operators, agencies and the CI security community.
The 3rd ‘Critical Infrastructure Protection Week’ will take place in Brussels, Belgium and will see IACIPP host the ‘Critical Infrastructure Protection & Resilience Europe’ conference and exhibition together with various workshops from supporting organisations who share the same objective of collaborating towards protecting Europe’s critical infrastructure and entities.
