We are delighted to announce the successful conclusion of the Webinar titled Cybersecurity as a Means of Enhancing Cross-Sector Operability in the EU,” a critical part of the ECYBRIDGE initiative led by the Constanta Maritime University, funded by the European Commission under the DIGITAL Programme, and overseen by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC).
The ECYBRIDGE project (https://ecybridge.eu/) is a pioneering enterprise that unites 17 organisations from four EU member states. It focuses on enhancing collaboration between the European civilian and defence sectors in cybersecurity, aiming to create a cohesive and robust framework to address emerging cyber threats effectively.
A huge thank you to the organisers, the Euro-Atlantic Resilience Centre (E-ARC), for ensuring the seamless execution of this event. The Webinar facilitated meaningful dialogue and shared valuable insights on how cybersecurity can act as a critical enabler for enhanced cross-sector collaboration between the defence and civilian domains in the EU, especially in light of increasing digitalisation and evolving security threats.
