EDA Defence Cyber Capability Framework v3

The European Defence Agency's updated reference framework for cyber defence capability planning, used by Member States' ministries of defence to align doctrine, capability targets and training pathways.

Defence capability planning has historically run on a separate vocabulary from civilian cyber resilience work, even when the underlying technical capabilities overlap. The v3 framework makes that overlap explicit in places — incident response, threat intelligence, secure communications — and is therefore a natural anchor when civilian agencies and defence ministries try to build shared exercises, shared catalogues of suppliers or shared workforce pipelines.
