Value of Research

Annegrit's priority is the Convenorship of CEN CENELEC JTC21 WG 5, the organisation and project support to work on the AI Act standardisation request for Cybersecurity. This includes a close collaboration with other groups within JTC 21, JTC 13, ISO IEC SC 42 and SC 27 to collect all information of existing and work under development. The main challenge is that JTC 21 and also our WG5 has a diverse structure of experts and knowledge, which makes the work, the effort and efficiency very difficult. In this case, the challenge in addition is the collaboration with other existing standardisation groups within JTC 21 as well as with JTC 13 for Cyber Resilience Act, with ETSI and their view, with ISO IEC SC 27 and SC 42.
