A 3-day “cybersecurity countermeasures” session took place for more than 25 participants, including the 16 DPOs of the MIA and its agencies, at Hotel Sirius from the 16th to 20th of June 2025. Different types of tools and methods (governance and compliance services, cryptography, endpoint detection security centers, incident response team, threat intelligence) were presented. The session emphasized the concept of risk assessment, as it has become central to the skills, in terms of cybersecurity compliance, required from exposed entities. Cultural elements of the cybersecurity landscape were shared to support the DPOs in building their own understanding of their environment and which signals to be monitored. A practical case of organization (including network diagrams) was studied, and the participants had the opportunity to learn how each method and tool can positively impact on the efficiency of protection for their organization.
