Forming the backbone of the European economy, digital technologies are transforming the way citizens connect, exchange information, interact with public and private organisations and the way businesses operate – creating increasing dependence on robust, secured, safe and resilient digital networks and infrastructure. With Cyber security incidents on the rise in both their sophistication and frequency and continuing to dominate news headlines, it is vital for all stakeholders of the ecosystems to work together and find ways to secure network and information systems in Europe and to improve preparedness resilience, deterrence and defence in an era where both critical infrastructures and our democratic processes are under threats

Gathering leading policy-makers, industry players and high level cyber security & defence experts, this conference will explore Europe’s response to a dynamically evolving global risks landscape and what remains to be done to ensure that we are better prepared to face these threats.
