#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.

#Standards are educational as well as technical. They protect citizens, promote #accessibility and power #sustainable, #green and #digital #transitions. @isostandards.bsky.social #WorldStandardsDay #Standards4SDGs

Public authorities are essential for #standardisation. Their enforcement ensures EU compliance, #sustainability & #accessibility. Speed in ICT must not harm safety, #sustainability or #consumer protection. @isostandards.bsky.social #WorldStandardsDay

ANEC @raisingstandardseu.bsky.social · 6d

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

Ahead of #WorldStandardsDay, ANEC Deputy DG Chiara Giovannini highlights how partnerships drive progress in #standardisation. As an Annex III & Partner Organisation of @cen-cenelec.bsky.social, ANEC keeps #consumers at the core of the green & digital transitions. #standards4SDGs

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.

ANEC @raisingstandardseu.bsky.social · 10d

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
