European Champions Alliance invites you to their event

European Cybersecurity Mapping 2025 - OT Security – Community Kick-Off Session

About this event

πŸ” Strengthening European OT Security Together

We are pleased to invite you to the first community session dedicated to OT Security vendors listed on the European Champions Alliance Cybersecurity Mapping (accessible here). This session is addressed to companies that are already part of the ECA ecosystem, whether through the mapping, membership, or recent interactions with our team.

Why OT Security?

OT (Operational Technology) Security is a vital pillar of European cybersecurity. As industrial automation and connected production units continue to evolve, the need to defend these environments from targeted threats becomes ever more pressing. Europe must strengthen its capabilities in this domainβ€”and you are among the champions driving this progress.

Yet, we also recognize that many of you are growing companies with limited geographic reach. That’s where ECA can help.

Our Goal: Building a Stronger European OT Security Community

This session will serve as an informal but structured opportunity to:

  • Introduce your company, products, and areas of specialization to fellow European OT Security vendors.
  • Foster community-building and peer knowledge exchange.
  • Identify shared challenges (e.g., market access, hiring, certifications).
  • Propose joint initiatives or collaborations that could emerge from a pan-European community.
  • Discuss relevant policy developments, including the state of EU cybersecurity certifications and upcoming regulations.

We also invite you to suggest topics or nominate potential speakers for this and future sessions. Whether technical experts, policy voices, or business leaders, all ideas are welcome.
