In May 1998, EAE hosted a conference on cybersecurity in response to the growing digitalization of society. The academy acknowledged the increasing importance of protecting digital assets and privacy in the digital age.
 
The conference brought together cybersecurity experts, engineers, and policymakers to discuss strategies for safeguarding information, critical infrastructure, and digital networks. EAE's commitment to cybersecurity aimed to ensure the integrity and security of digital systems in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
