This edition marks COcyber’s first anniversary, introduces our new Ambassador cohort, shares insights from the June General Assembly, presents two new deliverables, and highlights the latest tools, events, and EU cybersecurity developments.

From idea to impact: in just one year, COcyber has built a thriving European community bridging civilian and defence cybersecurity. In this anniversary video, project partners looks back at key milestones, meaningful progress, and the next steps in building dual-use cybersecurity cooperation.

The second cohort of COcyber Ambassadors joins forces across civilian and defence cybersecurity to strengthen European digital resilience through policy, training, and cross-sector collaboration. Representing seven experts from five countries, the programme empowers ambassadors to connect siloed communities, share knowledge, and promote dual-use innovation across Europe.

We spoke with the COcyber Batch #1 Ambassadors to reflect on their journey and gather their insights on Europe’s cybersecurity future. Selene Giupponi emphasises the need for shared frameworks, legal clarity, and trust-building between civilian and defence sectors to enable effective, long-term cooperation.
