Phishing techniques are evolving through use of #AI & deepfakes, making fraudulent messages & calls more convincing. Reporting such attempts helps protect others, while ANEC works to ensure #standards keep pace with these developments to safeguard #consumers. #DigitalEU #CyberSecMonth #ThinkB4UClick

We are proud to join today's EC #CyberResilience Act Expert Group third meeting to help raise the bar for #consumers' product #cybersecurity.
Raising #standards for #consumers for 30 years.
#Consumers should not be expected to manage every online risk. Through its work in European and international #standardisation, ANEC calls for manufacturers and service providers to take greater responsibility for #cybersecurity.

#Standards work best when shaped by all stakeholders together in partnership. #Inclusive and #sustainable #standardisation means outcomes that benefit everyone, not just economic actors.

Inclusiveness is still treated largely as access rather than a measure of results. This undermines the legitimacy of the system where harmonised #standards become part of EU law & impact #consumer rights, environmental sustainability & societal welfare. @isostandards.bsky.social #WorldStandardsDay

Itβs World Standards Day 2025!
Celebrated the day with a fun member quiz on ANECβs history, mission & importance of standardisation.
Congratulations to our champions:π @DINConsumerCouncil & @cecuconsumo.bsky.social !
By strengthening #consumer protection, contributing to consumer well-being and embedding #inclusiveness, #sustainability and #accessibility, #standards can help deliver the objectives of the EU Consumer Agenda and the #SDGs.

#Standards work best through collaboration among industry, governments, #SMEs, #consumers and #civil #society. ANEC believes partnerships are key.

Clear design helps #consumers stay safe. Through its work on #standards, ANEC works to make #digital systems easier to use and understand, so that consumers can identify suspicious messages & avoid #phishing attempts.
#DigitalEU #CyberSecMonth #CyberSecEU #ThinkB4UClick #CyberSafety #SafetyByDesign
When a phishing message imitates a trusted service, #consumer confidence is damaged. ANEC supports stronger #standardisation & clearer rules to improve the #security & reliability of digital products & services, including through the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

Phishing takes advantage of poor design such as unclear links, confusing interfaces or misleading & confusing communication. Through standards work, ANEC promotes security, privacy, accessibility & safety by design so consumers are protected from online threats before they occur. #CyberSecMonth
