We live in unprecedent times characterised by historic challenges, such as the tragic ongoing war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, rapidly rising inflation and the climate emergency. After 24 February, the world order has changed dramatically and increasing uncertainty has come to dominate our everyday lives.
Cyberspace, as the backbone of the digital single market and being strongly embedded in our society, reflects this uncertainty through the increasing number of threats and attacks we’re seeing on digital technologies. Against this backdrop, the EU’s posture on cybersecurity should respond to these new challenges by utilising the many faces of cybersecurity during this time of uncertainty and crisis.
We need new rules for networks and product security, increased coordination efforts at EU level to respond to cyber crises, and renewed engagement with new challenges – such as the metaverse – to shape a cybersecurity global governance for the new world order.
· What is the status of the EU’s current efforts to create resilience and enhance deterrence in cyberspace?
· Do we need additional measures to increase awareness, to develop smarter policy and establish more effective governance?
· Is European cyberspace safer today than yesterday?
· Are EU leaders meeting the challenge of facing future cybersecurity threats as they become more sophisticated and dangerous?
These and many more questions will be raised and addressed at the CEPS annual cybersecurity summit.
Registration for this event will be ending on December 5th 09:30 (CET)
