ENISA Telecom and Digital Infrastructure Security Forum 2026

IMPORTANT: Postponed - expected to take place on 7 May (to be confirmed). Recent developments in the Middle East and Gulf region have affected regional air traffic, resulting in some disruption to flights, to and from Cyprus, despite Cypriot airspace remaining open. In light of these circumstances, the Cyprus Presidency of the EU has decided, as a precautionary measure, to ensure predictability, and to allow for timely planning by the participants, to adjust its program for the month of March, and to conduct Presidency meetings and events scheduled to take place in Cyprus, in a virtual format and/or in some cases to re - schedule them. This means that the ENISA Telecom security forum 2026, to be held in Paphos Cyprus, will be postponed to 7 May, in the same location, the same arrangements.

On 7 May, ENISA is organising the 2026 ENISA Telecom and Digital Infrastructure Security Forum in Paphos, Cyprus, co-organised with the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU.

The forum brings together EU telecom authorities, 5G experts from the NIS Cooperation Group, industry specialists, and the wider cybersecurity community for open strategic and technical discussions in a private setting (no streaming, no recording).

Key topics

1. Cyber-attacks on the telecom networks
2. Resilience of the networks, focusing on power supply dependencies
3. New telecom networks, new technologies 
4. EU policy changes and challenges for the sector

Join us in Paphos to discuss pressing telecom security topics with policymakers, telecom regulators, and experts from across the sector.

Background

Since 2010 ENISA has worked closely with the national telecom security authorities, establishing ECASEC, a working group of experts from national authorities from across the EU, and several EEA, EFTA and EU candidate countries. The ECASEC group, formerly known as ENISA Article 13a group, is now a part of the NIS Cooperation Group, as a subgroup of the 5G/Telecoms cybersecurity workstream. The goal of the ECASEC group is to discuss and agree on a harmonized approach to telecom security measures, incident reporting, and supervision of the EU’s telecom sector. The ENISA telecom security forum is a continuation of a series of meetings, previously called ENISA Article 13a Open Day. This is the 6th edition of the ENISA Telecom Security Forum.
