Meshed Networks of Cyber-Collaboration: How Europe Organises Mutual Assistance In and Before Crises
As Europe's digital backbone grows more critical, so does its exposure to disruption. This session explores how operators, regulators, and engineers are rethinking infrastructure design to withstand geopolitical, environmental, and technical shocks, without sacrificing the pace of innovation.
Cyber crises rarely stop at national borders. As Europe’s digital infrastructure becomes increasingly interconnected, effective cyber resilience depends not only on national capabilities, but also on the ability of governments, institutions and trusted partners to cooperate before, during and after an incident.
This session explores how Europe is building a meshed network of cyber collaboration and mutual assistance. How do countries and organisations coordinate when a major cyber incident occurs? What mechanisms enable rapid support and information sharing, and how can cooperation be strengthened before a crisis strikes?
Join us for an open discussion on the networks, relationships and practical arrangements that underpin Europe’s collective cyber resilience, and what is needed to make mutual assistance faster, more trusted and more effective.
