Cybersecurity of infrastructures, products, services and protocols
We develop security controls to mitigate cybersecurity threats.
ETSI’s Technical Committee on Cyber Security (TC CYBER) is a centre of expertise in cybersecurity. It provides market-driven cybersecurity standardisation solutions, advice, and guidance to users, manufacturers, infrastructure/service operators and regulators.
The Committee works closely with stakeholders to develop standards that strengthen privacy and enhance the security capabilities for organisations and citizens across Europe and worldwide.
Our standards help make our society more secure and better protected against cybersecurity threats and are designed to be applicable across diverse domains.
Key areas of work
Cybersecurity tools and techniques
We develop methodologies to enhance cybersecurity resilience.
Cybersecurity mechanisms to protect privacy
We develop safeguards to protect personal information.
Quantum-safe cryptography
We develop practical guidance for deployments of quantum-safe cryptography.
