Over the course of two hours, participants explored essential topics aimed at enhancing institutional cyber-capabilities, including:

• Clarifications regarding the responsibilities of public institutions under the new regulations

• Updates on recent legislative requirements under the NIS2 Directive

• Recommendations for assessing and improving institutional cyber maturity

• Presentation of the platforms developed within the SIEMBIOT project, including the audit and monitoring components

• A live demonstration of the SIEMBIOT platform, an integrated solution for compliance, reporting, and security process automation

After each presentation, dedicated time was allocated for the Q&A sessions, during which participants raised a variety of issues and received practical solutions and concrete cybersecurity recommendations.

To support public institutions in strengthening their cyber resilience, we are providing the following resources, also presented during the webinar:

We encourage you to access these resources and assess the cyber maturity level and NIS2 compliance status of your institution.

This is a free, unofficial tool that enables institutions to evaluate their current situation and identify development opportunities.

This second webinar marks the continuation of the dialogue initiated in September regarding the strengthening of cybersecurity resilience in Romania. The SIEMBIOT project partners will continue to organize events, workshops, and training sessions dedicated primarily to public institutions, but also to other interested organizations, in order to support the implementation of cybersecurity best practices.

The objective is to ensure that as many organizations as possible gain access to tools, solutions, and practical knowledge that enable them to identify vulnerabilities, reduce risks, and build a more secure and resilient digital infrastructure—supported by the European funding allocated for the development and implementation of the SIEMBIOT project.

The SIEMBIOT team remains available to all participants for questions, clarifications, or additional support. You can send your inquiries through the contact form on the platform or request a free 3-month trial of the SIEMBIOT platform.

SIEMBIOT is a European project funded by the European Commission through the DIGITAL-ECCC-2022-CYBER-03 call, dedicated to developing innovative solutions for monitoring, preventing, and responding to cyberattacks in complex networks of critical infrastructure and public organizations.

The main objective of the project is to enhance national and regional resilience against cyberattacks.

The SIEMBIOT platform integrates SIEM, NOC, SOC, CTI, and vulnerability management technologies, providing a flexible and secure solution for cybersecurity protection and collaboration—one that can also be tested free of charge.
