SESSION ISecurity and Defence Implications of the Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape
In the past decade, cybersecurity has moved to the centre of national and international security debates. Contemporary conflicts involve complex cyberspace operations against and between state and non-state actors, which threaten international peace and stability. Everyday, NATO and its member-states are targeted with cyber-attacks, which are becoming more frequent, complex, destructive, and coercive. This session addresses NATO adaptation to the evolving cyber threat landscape and its efforts to prevent, deter, defend, and respond to adversarial cyber operations in 2020-2030. |

SESSION II Resilience Against Cyber Threats: NATO-EU cooperation and NATO’s Cyber Defence Pledge
Many NATO members have invested in and developed world-class military cyber defence capabilities and organisations; others remain under-resourced and lag behind. In addition to sovereign assets, alliance militaries depend upon infrastructures, goods, and services produced, operated, and owned by multiple civilian and commercial actors, who have been encouraged to invest more in cybersecurity. NATO’s Cyber Defence Pledge (2016) attracted high-level political attention and ensued national commitments to improved cybersecurity. It has helped catalyse increased cybersecurity investment, improvements in sharing of best practices, and multi-stakeholder cooperation. |
