Invitation to participate in a focus group about cybersecurity collaboration needs (Defence-Civilian)

We are conducting the initial needs assessment for the COcyber project (www.cocyber.eu), a new European initiative in cybersecurity running for 2 years and supported by the European Union, under the Digital Europe Programme. 

Selected renowned key cybersecurity leaders in the defence sector are invited to participate in Industry Focus Group (3-5 main Cybersecurity Actors) online to gather insights on any of these three key areas:

  1. Coordination needs between civilian and defence cybersecurity sectors.
  2. Existing cybersecurity intelligence and public information in critical areas.
  3. Best practices across the EU regarding structured cybersecurity cooperation between civilian and defence sectors.

The cybersecurity ecosystem clusters stakeholders from civilian and defence cybersecurity spheres.
