CCLab reached an important milestone in 2023, as it celebrated its 10th anniversary on April 3. The entire team celebrated this significant event with a 2-day trip at the breathtaking Avalon Resort & Spa in Miskolctapolca at the beginning of May. This remarkable event was full of excitement, heartfelt moments, and learning, just as CCLab has been for the past 10 years.
The first day of the celebration was spent with entertaining lectures and workshops. To kickstart the festivities, we invited renowned Hungarian mathematician, publicist, and psychologist, László Mérő, to deliver a captivating scientific stand-up performance. Following his entertaining show, the team engaged in an interactive workshop designed to nurture the organization's development. The workshop served as a platform for developing fresh ideas and refining strategies as a team, which promoted the continuous development typical of CCLab, and at the same time provided colleagues with great fun.
Nostalgia filled the air as our founding co-owners, Ferenc Molnár and Zoltán Karászi shared entertaining anecdotes and memories from the company’s early days in an interview. The interview was enriched with videos of former and current colleagues, in which they recounted their memories and greetings related to the company. It was a heartwarming reminder of the company's roots and the perseverance that has driven CCLab's success.
At the end of the ceremony, we presented gifts to those colleagues who have been committed to CCLab for 5 and 10 years and have been helping the company's success with their work ever since.
While the event was filled with intellectual and professional moments, it also offered plenty of opportunities for pure fun and relaxation. The team could relax in the hotel's luxurious wellness area, and the dance fans could show off their best moves at the evening party. Finally, the 2-day birthday party ended with a super go-kart race.
In every way, the two-day celebration was a tribute to the incredible journey CCLab has gained over the past decade. This event celebrated our achievements, unique corporate culture, atmosphere, and outstanding professionals that have brought CCLab to its current prominent position in the field of cybersecurity.
We would also like to thank our Partners and Customers for the last 10 years. We are grateful that together we could make the world a more secure place.

As Europe advances its digital transformation agenda, securing its technological infrastructure has become a top priority. At the center of this ambition lies the European cybersecurity certification ecosystem. Most notably, the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC). Designed to harmonize security assurance practices across EU member states, EUCC is the first concrete step under the EU Cybersecurity Act to create a unified framework for certifying ICT products and services. But while EUCC represents a major achievement in digital sovereignty, a crucial question remains: Is it enough? This article explores what the European Cybersecurity Certification does well, where its current limitations lie, and what additional steps are necessary to create a truly resilient cybersecurity landscape across Europe.

On March 21, 2025, a special event took place at CCLab’s headquarters in Budapest, Hungary: we had the pleasure of welcoming the delegation of WonSec Technology, and together we signed a strategic cooperation agreement focused on the EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme on Common Criteria (EUCC). This partnership marks a milestone not only for CCLab but for the broader European certification ecosystem as well. Our joint goal is to support the secure and compliant entry of ICT products and services into the European market, especially in light of the soon-to-be mandatory EUCC requirements.
