ZIUR presents the real opportunities of the European CRA law to the industrial sector at the ISACA Bilbao Congress

The third edition of the event focused on the main regulatory and technological challenges facing Basque organizations

ZIUR participated in the third edition of the ISACA Bilbao Congress, a meeting that addressed the key challenges and risks facing audit management positions, cybersecurity managers (CISOs), and technology managers in the Basque Country. This event, held at the BAT Tower and part of the ISACA Bilbao Roadshow, brought to the table current topics such as the CRA regulation, blockchain, the NIS2 standard, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence.

ZIUR's general manager, María Penilla, participated in a roundtable discussion on the European Cyber ​​Resilience Act, aimed at strengthening protection against cyber threats and ensuring that products with digital components on the market are secure. In a debate moderated by Jesús Urien Pineda, partner and head of Business Security Solutions at PwC Northern Zone, Penilla spoke with Juan Rico, senior manager at the Eclipse Foundation. Among other aspects, they addressed compliance and the real opportunities offered by this regulation, as well as its application from different perspectives: the technical community, public administration, industry, and the financial sector.

Regarding the regulation, Penilla warned that "if products with digital elements do not comply with cybersecurity standards throughout their entire lifecycle, they can no longer be sold," making compliance vitally important for industrial manufacturers, with a view to its entry into force in December 2027.

Regarding the advantages of complying with this law, the director of ZIUR stated that "it is a good way to secure funding to do things better and be as cybersecure as possible," which in the long run will reduce future costs due to incidents and improve the brand's reputation to attract more demanding customers. "In the industrial world, it is difficult to understand because management is extremely difficult. The customer does not facilitate the necessary deliveries, and the manufacturer is the one who wants to take charge of it and charge for it," Penilla noted.

Following her presentation, the ZIUR director attended various specialized presentations led by leading international experts, as well as a networking event, where she was able to connect, exchange ideas, and generate synergies with other industry professionals.
