Welcome to CIP Forum VIII 2025

The last few years have posed a number of new and serious challenges for us and we have all seen how technology has been a major component of this paradigm shift – especially in regard to our virtually presence required within communities, professional or not.

In this new context that has also led to a highly accelerated digital growth, critical infrastructure protection has to become all the more a priority within our diplomatic and governmental agendas. Critical Infrastructure Protection Forum – CIP Forum, coming this year to its 8th edition, has already established a solid network of experts on the topic of critical infrastructure protection and its various and complex branches, spreading to so many different vital sectors in society.

Save the date

The high-level international Critical Infrastructure Protection Forum – CIP Forum VIII 2025 is one of the most notable initiatives in this field from Romania. We invite you to be a part of this forum which is more than a conference: it is a nucleus bringing together leading industry speakers and professionals that are able to make a change within this essential sector.
