CREST launches Cyber Leaders Forum Europe

CREST International has announced the formation of its new Cyber Leaders Forum in Europe.

We intend to create a group of regional representatives from a diverse range of industries and markets, connected with buying services in the cyber security industry, including but not limited to:

• Financial Services
• Education
• Telco
• Legal
• Manufacturing
• Local Government
• Energy
• Healthcare

Please note: this list is indicative and not exhaustive. If your industry or market is not listed here we may still want to hear from you so please consider applying.

The CREST Council provides a route for CREST members to represent the cyber industry, therefore we are seeking representatives from industry verticals to complement the elected council. The role of the Cyber Leaders Forum is to:

• Reduce the asymmetry of information between buyers and providers of cyber services
• Help buyers better understand, access, and select cyber services
• Help cyber service providers better design and articulate their offer to meet buyers’ needs (which can vary in sophistication and type)
• Increase awareness in the buying community of the value of procuring CREST-accredited services

We need individuals who can help CREST develop our unique offering to the buying community. We want to make sure that the buying process is seamless, and that buyers can know who to trust.

Rodrigo Marcos Alvarez, Chair of the CREST Cyber Leaders Forum Europe said:

“In our mission to bolster the security landscape within the EU region, our aim is to create a safer environment for conducting business while erecting formidable barriers against cybercriminals and advanced persistent threats. I firmly believe that through the platform provided by CREST, we have the opportunity to significantly mitigate cyber risks by empowering executives, managers, leaders, and procurement professionals to readily discern accredited expertise.”

All interested candidates are encouraged to self-nominate, embodying the spirit of collaboration and expertise that the cyber security domain demands. You can access the nomination form via this dedicated web address at CREST Europe Cyber Leaders Forum Nomination Form.

Those selected to join the forum will have the unique opportunity to influence policies, drive innovations, and enhance the overall cyber resilience of critical national infrastructure.

Join our cause to revolutionise the digital world and make it a safer, more secure place for everyone. Your contribution in forging this path forward is invaluable. Together, let’s create a better future for all.
