Dissemination of the closing of the first infoday

The Certify project, in collaboration with the DIGIS3 initiative, hosted its inaugural Infoday on 17 March, led by the AIR Institute. The event, titled “Cybersecurity and IoT in Industry 5.0,” highlighted current advancements and challenges in securing the evolving industrial landscape. Key partners like Collins Aerospace, Trust Square, and Digital Worx showcased use cases in aircraft security, smart manufacturing, and art preservation.

A major highlight was the launch of the Certify – Industrial Cybersecurity course, now available for free on the e4YOU platform until 22 June 2025. Covering five modules, it equips professionals with tools to protect industrial infrastructures and navigate regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act. Looking ahead, Certify’s second Infoday in May will delve deeper into IoT cybersecurity and project standardisation across the European landscape

The Certify Infoday showcased how cybersecurity and IoT are becoming the backbone of Industry 5.0 — a human-centric, resilient, and sustainable industrial evolution. By highlighting real-world applications like smart factory automation, aircraft cabin security, and the digital protection of high-value assets, the event illustrated how these technologies enhance operational intelligence and safety. Industry leaders emphasized the importance of integrating cyber resilience into every layer of the value chain, ensuring that the future of manufacturing is not only connected and efficient, but also secure and trustworthy. The event reinforced the role of cross-sector collaboration and digital innovation in driving Europe’s transition to an advanced, secure industrial era.
