Today, the EDPS had the pleasure of hosting the December meeting of the Interinstitutional Committee on Digital Transformation (ICDT). Bringing together representatives from across the EU Institutions, the ICDT is a key forum for coordinating digital transformation efforts, from cloud and data governance to AI and interoperability. @npub1vtdc...gz7j Wojciech Wiewiorowski opened the meeting with introductory remarks, highlighting that efficiency and compliance must go hand in hand, especially at a time when institutions feel the pressure to do more with less. He also stressed that as we navigate a technological revolution driven by artificial intelligence, significant risks and responsibilities emerge, requiring continued vigilance in how AI is deployed, particularly with regard to data protection. A warm thank you to all institutions for their active participation, and to the @npub1ypk0...kdd0 for chairing the Committee’s work. We look forward to continuing this collaboration in the year ahead!
*** Annual Privacy Forum 2025 *** Today marked the 13th edition of the Annual Privacy Forum, where experts from across Europe gathered to bridge the gap between privacy and data protection research and policy. This year’s edition was organised by the Goethe University Frankfurt, Karlstad University, and RSA Conference, with active participation from @European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the #EDPS. In his opening remarks, @npub1vtdc...gz7j Wojciech Wiewiorowski addressed some of the most pressing challenges in data protection and cybersecurity: "October marks the EU Cybersecurity Month. Alongside the EDPS daily role in supervising the protection of individuals affected by cybersecurity incidents impacting EUIs systems, we are present and playing an active role in the initiatives that EU institutions are carrying out". He added: "Strong cybersecurity is essential to the EU's resilience and the protection of fundamental rights. The greater the intrusion, the greater the risks for our rights, and the stronger our safeguards must be". In his address, he spoke about the simplification agenda: "True simplification means making rules clearer, more coherent, and easier to apply, without weakening the protections for individuals. Simplification should mean strengthening and streamlining enforcement, maintaining independence, and preserving the GDPR as a landmark for Europe's fundamental rights". #APF25 #Cybersecurity #GDPR image
