Did you know that nearly half of Flemish companies were targeted by a cyberattack in 2024? This underscores that safety can’t stop at physical measures, cybersecurity needs equal attention in every organization.
Since the European Union has declared October 2025 ‘European Cyber Security Month’, we are fully embracing that and offering our own (cyber)security insights during AWDC’s Security Month.
You may know that AWDC’s responsibilities are broad and diverse: we promote Antwerp as the global hub for natural diamonds and represent the interests of its diamantaires. One crucial part of that mission often goes unnoticed: we ensure that business can continue safely and smoothly, without unnecessary burdens from security procedures.
This October, we are organizing our very first AWDC Café on cybersecurity (on October 30th), sharing an interview with our head of security and more to come.
Stay tuned for more security news!
