Session teaser

The European Union is working to fortify its digital infrastructure against escalating cyber threats. Malicious acts know no national borders and are rarely limited to a single target. For this reason, while building one's own defence capabilities remains essential, it is even more crucial to work together towards the goal of establishing collective resilience across the continent. Cooperation is challenging; it may necessitate seeking compromises or even sacrificing part of one's own interests or assets to assist partners. At the same time, however, it paves the way for building collective strength and defence, far more robust than what a single actor could provide for themselves.

Session description

The goal of this session is to explore various aspects of cooperation for cyber resilience building in Europe. Such partnerships can take different forms, bringing both a wide range of opportunities, as well as challenges. Some of them are already highly mature and can serve as best practices examples, while for others there is still a room for progress.

The diverse backgrounds of key participants of the session will bring a wide spectrum of perspectives on the cooperation for cyber resilience. The audience will have the opportunity to learn about, among others, operational, legal and administrative nuances of the topic. They can also share their own observations, experiences and examples. As the final result of the session, we hope to gather a range of inputs on chances and risks connected with cooperation in the area of cybersecurity and the list of existing best practices.

The session will open with the kenoyte by Jacek Oko, the President of the Office of Electronic Communications in Poland, who will give introductory remarks. Then, in a round of short statements, all invited key participants will share their perspectives on the topic of the cooperation for building cyber resilience in Europe. After this part, the floor will be opened for the audience to ask questions or express their views and comments. The session will be concluded with a short closing statement by each of the key participants.

Format

The session will include inputs from key participants, followed by an open floor. All participants are also invited to contribute to the shared interactive board, which will be available before, during and after the session to continue the discussion. The link to the board will be posted here shortly.
