The event organised by SIOI’s CDE aims to deepen the European Cybersecurity Strategy and the new defence model. Last December, the EU Commission presented the new Cybersecurity Strategy as an essential component of the digital transition, the European Recovery Plan and the Security Union Strategy. The new strategy bases its doctrine on cyber and physical resilience of critical entities and networks, understood both as the ability of Member States and the EU as a whole to equip themselves with more robust and effective IT infrastructure or interdependency, as well as the ability to produce secure technologies to be placed on the European market, political and military capacity to deter potential opponents from launching an attack on EU Member States and the operational ability to anticipate and/or react to attacks suffered, including a network of operational centres for security in all states, fuelled by Artificial Intelligence. The latter will constitute a real cyber barrier for the EU that can detect early signs of a cyber attack and enable proactive action before damage occurs. Finally, the European Cybersecurity Strategy will build on international cyber cooperation to facilitate cooperation with key cyber stakeholders, focusing in particular on improving the fundamental link between space, defence and security.
