Cybersecurity: EU holds 8th dialogue with the United States

BRUSSELS, 17 December 2022, (TON): On 15-16 December 2022, the European Union and United States held the eighth EU-U.S. Cyber Dialogue in Washington, DC.

This took place in the context of a dramatically deteriorated cyber threat environment due to Russia’s illegal military aggression against Ukraine, which has underlined the need for enhanced transatlantic cooperation and coordination to prevent, detect and respond to malicious cyber activities and highlighted the need to ensure that critical infrastructure is secure and resilient.

Respective current and future cyber strategies, policies and legislation as well as cyber diplomacy, crisis management and crisis response, were also discussed.

Notably, the EU informed on the EU cyber posture and new cyber defence policy developed in 2022 with the aim to strengthen the EU’s cyber resilience and capacities to detect, deter and respond, increasing cooperation among EU’s cyber actors and developing mechanisms for leveraging joint capabilities at the EU level.
