The Portuguese National Defence Institute (IDN) is going to organize, under the auspices of the European Security and Defence College (ESDC), a new edition of the course dedicated to “The Challenges of European cybersecurity”. Given the current circumstances at the European level, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this course will be held virtually (via the WebEx platform).
This course will address several topics to better understand Cybersecurity and Cyber Defence practices and challenges and identify the broader dynamics of EU cyber-policy, in five sessions dedicated to the following themes:
- Cyberspace: Concepts & Policies
- EU Capabilities and Requirements
- EU Strategy and Policies
- Legal Frameworks and Cyber Operations
- Cooperation and Diplomacy
Participants will have the opportunity to learn and exchange views with experts and officials on cyber threats and national policies, EU capabilities, strategies, and policies to address cyberspace challenges, legal frameworks, and confidence-building measures in cyberspace.
Applications should be submitted until 10 January 2022 through the ENLIST system (https://esdc.europa.eu/nominators/). Any expression of interest should be formalized by e-mail at least one business day in advance to the Course Director (IDN, Portugal): COR João Barbas (joao.barbas@defesa.pt)
