ENISA Annual Privacy Forum
The value of personal data in the online world has significantly increased over the last years as electronic products, services and processes have permeated every fold of everyday life. Limitations in the transparency, the functionality and interconnectivity of online and communication services increases the risk of having personal data processed out of control of any accountable person or organization or simply becoming exposed to all sorts of privacy threats.
The EU legal framework on personal data protection is key in an effort to better control the processing of personal data while ensuring an adequate level of protection. Even the best legislative efforts cannot keep up to speed with the pace of innovative technology and business models that challenge the way personal data is processed and privacy is protected across the EU and beyond; therefore, examining what is at stake and where threats thereto originate from becomes of paramount importance.
Against this background, ENISA, DG CONNECT and the Católica University of Portugal, Lisbon School of Law are organizing the Annual Privacy Forum (APF) 2020.
Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, the organizers have unanimously decided to postpone the organization of the APF for October 2020.
The exact dates will be communicated in due time, once the organizers have more information on how the overall situation evolves.

WSIS+15 Forum 2020
Fostering digital transformation and global partnerships: WSIS Action Lines for achieving SDGs
The World Summit on the Information Society Forum 2020 represents the world's largest annual gathering of the ‘ICT for development’ community. The WSIS Forum, co-organized by ITU, UNESCO, UNDP and UNCTAD, in close collaboration with all WSIS Action Line Facilitators/Co-Facilitators, has proven to be an efficient mechanism for coordination of multi- stakeholder implementation activities, information exchange, creation of knowledge, sharing of best practices and continues to provide assistance in developing multi-stakeholder and public/private partnerships to advance development goals. This Forum will provide structured opportunities to network, learn and participate in multi-stakeholder discussions and consultations on WSIS implementation. The Agenda and Programme of the Forum will be built on the basis of the submissions received during the Open Consultation Process.
Furthermore, the 2020 WSIS Forum (WSIS+15) will provide an opportunity to serve as a platform to track the achievements of WSIS Action Lines in collaboration with the UN Agencies involved and provide information and analyses of the implementation of WSIS Action Lines since 2005.

The central topics of discussions will reflect a motion to take deep cybersecurity actions which will secure the very core aspects of the digital world - digital DNA as we call it. It is a task for the entire transatlantic community, like-minded countries, NATO and the new European Commission and European Parliament in their pursuit of digital strategic autonomy as well as for many national governments.
CYBERSEC Brussels will contribute to that endeavour by bringing closer the new digital agenda of the European Commission and national approaches of the member states.

WACCO 2020: 2nd Workshop on Attackers and Cyber-Crime Operations
The emergence and commoditization of cyber-criminal activities calls for new empirical methods, measures, and technologies to quantify and understand offender operations across all forms of cyber-crime: from malware engineering and attack delivery, to running underground operations trading illegal goods such as drugs and illegal pornography, to spreading disinformation and planning (cyber-)terrorism operations. Without appropriate scientific measures of cyber-offender and attacker operations, capabilities, and resources, it remains impossible to derive sound policies, strategies and technologies that appropriately address realistic and evidence-based attacker and offender models.
The 2nd Workshop on Attackers and Cyber-Crime Operations (WACCO 2020) aims to provide a venue for research and discussion on cyber-criminal activities. WACCO 2020 is co-located with the 5th IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P 2020) in Genoa, Italy on June 15, 2020.

The ICT4D Non-Conference 2020
The ICT4D Non-Conference is a unique event that brings together government officials, companies, academics and civil society to discuss the most important questions around ICT4D through a range of activities. There will be no boring paper presentations or ministerial statements! Rather, you will have an opportunity to spend time discussing what you want, and how you want, with people who have real knowledge about ensuring safe inclusive digital technology for all.
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic we have taken the wise, but sad, decision today (8th May 2020) to postpone our face-to-face non-conference that was scheduled to take place from 15th-17th September this year. However, we intend to run a virtual gathering on these original dates when all poster and demo presenters can come together to share and discuss their ideas and experiences. Further details of this will be announced in due course. All accepted demo and poster presenters have been invited to contribute to this virtual gathering.
