The third cohort of COcyber Ambassadors brings together seven cybersecurity professionals whose combined expertise supports Europe’s efforts to improve cooperation between civilian and defence communities, strengthen digital resilience, and encourage practical knowledge-sharing across diverse security domains.

We spoke with the COcyber Batch #2 Ambassadors to reflect on their journey and gather their insights on Europe’s cybersecurity future. Dr. Vilius Benetis brings deep expertise in cybersecurity capacity building and incident response, and values the ambassadorship for advancing ecosystem-based approaches that strengthen cyber resilience through trust, cooperation, and outcomes-driven collaboration.
