Cybersecurity in radio equipment and devices is one of the major milestones set by the European Commission for the coming years. Therefore, just a month ago, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/30 of 29 October 2021 was published on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment that will require certain cybersecurity requirement.At jtsec we are very proud to be part of the working group that will help to standardise the cybersecurity requirements to be applied in this Directive.
5G technology has been, and is considered by the European Commission, as a strategic and competitive opportunity.
In view of the imminent deployment of 5G technology in Europe in the coming years, the European Union included in the URWP the creation of a specific cybersecurity scheme for this technology. The objective of the creation of this new scheme is none other than to improve the 5G cybersecurity framework and to ensure that the deployment of 5G in the European Union is carried out in a secure manner.

Improving cybersecurity has been one of the main milestones set by the European Commission in recent years. The European Cybersecurity Directive NIS 1, approved in 2017, already put on the table certain measures to improve cybersecurity in European companies considered critical infrastructures. However, different voices raised criticism about non-homogeneous incorporation of this regulation in the different Member States, creating a different applicability in each one, which in the end leads to a fragmentation of the single market. In this perspective, it was clear that an improvement of NIS 1 would come sooner rather than later, NIS 2.
Performing the LINCE evaluation of a product is always a challenge, and even more when it is the first evaluation for a specific taxonomy. Therefore, we are pleased to be the first laboratory to successfully evaluate a product in the Hyperconvergence Tools category, being included in the Qualified Products section of the Spanish Catalogue of Information and Communication Technology Security Products (CPSTIC), published by the CCN.
