🔒 Strengthening Europe: Resilience, Cybersecurity, and Defense for 2024-2029 🌍🔐 As we look ahead to the next five years, Europe is focusing on enhancing its resilience, cybersecurity, and defense mechanisms to address emerging threats and ensure stability across the region. 📚 What’s the focus? The European Union's agenda for 2024-2029 emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity frameworks and defense strategies. This initiative aims to protect critical infrastructure, safeguard digital assets, and maintain a secure environment for citizens and businesses. 🛡️ Why is it crucial? In an increasingly digital world, the risks associated with cyber threats have grown exponentially. The EU recognizes that ensuring cybersecurity is not only about protecting data but also about preserving the trust and safety of its societies. By strengthening defenses, Europe can mitigate the impact of potential cyber-attacks and enhance its ability to respond swiftly and effectively. 🌟 Implications for the future: This comprehensive approach to resilience and defense will enable Europe to tackle challenges head-on and adapt to the evolving threat landscape. With a focus on collaboration, innovation, and strategic investments, the EU aims to build a safer, more secure future for all its members. Together, we can build a resilient and secure Europe! 🚀 #Cybersecurity #Defense #Innovation #EU2024 #Resilience

The cybersecurity market has grown significantly over the past eight years, reaching $138 million in 2024! This growth is supported by a robust ecosystem of over 100 specialized companies and 16,000 experts. The recently published Ukraine Cybersecurity Market Review indicates that Ukraine can provide world-class solutions for critical infrastructure and private organizations. We at FS Group are proud to be part of a dynamically developing ecosystem. We bring our proven expertise to international markets such as Sweden, Poland, and the Baltics. Key insights from the report: 👉 The Ukrainian #cybersecurity market is export-oriented, with 75% of companies providing services worldwide. 👉 The main focus areas in critical regions are incident response, penetration testing, and advanced threat intelligence. 👉This growth is driven by partnerships, innovation, and lessons learned from defending against advanced threats. Our FS Group team continues to expand its footprint, and our mission is to leverage cybersecurity expertise to strengthen digital resilience worldwide. We keep working to secure the digital world! https://lnkd.in/e6fGTeDj IT Ukraine Association #FSGroup #ITUkraineAssociation

Excited to kick off our bilateral cooperation with #Guatemala 🇬🇹 ! Just after we welcomed Guatemala to LAC4 last week, we also co-organised roundtables on #cybersecurity with the delegation of the European Union to Guatemala and the Presidential Commission for Open and Electronic Government of Guatemala and had several bilateral meetings with key stakeholders from government institutions and ministries. The roundtable seminars brought together different stakeholders to discuss building more resilient and secure digital societies and how to raise awareness about cyber risks, including sharing best practices from #EU, #Estonia and #CostaRica. The bilateral meetings with government stakeholders allowed for a more deliberate discussion on different cyber governance models and sharing the lessons learned from the EU. We’re glad that our week-long mission attracted more than 300 cross-sectoral participants! Our mission lead Merili Soosalu said that Guatemala is taking significant steps towards strengthening its cybersecurity posture by fostering collaboration and dialogue among key stakeholders, and reaffirmed #EUCyberNet’s and #LAC4’s commitment in supporting Guatemala on their journey. 🔗 Read the key take-aways from our mission here: https://lnkd.in/dmuFgR2e Unión Europea en Centroamérica Comisión Presidencial de Gobierno Abierto y Electrónico GAE

At Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity 2024 [AMC 2024], World Economic Forum (WEF) The Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity 2024, to be held on 11 to 13 November in Geneva, Switzerland, brings together over 170 of the world’s foremost cybersecurity leaders from business, government, international organizations, civil society and academia to foster collaboration on making cyberspace safer and more resilient for all. I am speaking in the session "Overlooked and Vulnerable: Cyber’s Uncharted Territories" What we are deliberating? While cybersecurity efforts often focus on critical sectors, numerous other sectors face cyber threats and disruptions that can have significant societal impacts. What unique cybersecurity challenges do these "forgotten sectors" face and how can we address them? Natasa Perucica Atul Kumar Data Security Council of India

As bad as the current situation is, recent years have taught us a lot about ensuring cybersecurity, especially given the rapid increase in the number of attacks ever since the start of the war in Ukraine. The #cybersecurity sector in Europe is indeed growing. Awareness and regulatory efforts for building European digital resilience and fostering cybersecurity are also on the rise, bringing us closer to a secure, more integrated Europe - experts argued during the “Cybersecurity as a Catalyst of the CEE Digital Economy” panel discussion held during Tallinn Digital Summit 2024 we had the pleasure of co-organising with the Polish Embassy in Tallinn. Michal Kanownik, President of Digital Poland Association, kicked off the session by showcasing the findings of our report on CEE’s digital economy and highlighting cybersecurity as one of the technological fields poised to transform it, also describing the current digital security landscape of Central Eastern Europe. Experts from across the region then considered the issues of interest and awareness of cybersecurity both in the public and private sector, expectations towards relevant regulations, capabilities of the most vulnerable market participants in #CEE and means for allowing our region’s cybersecurity industry to grow. Thank you to the organizers of Tallinn Digital Summit, Polish Embassy in Tallinn our amazing speakers: Edgars Kiukucāns, Director of the Cybersecurity Policy Department at the Latvian Ministry of Defence, Otakar Horák, National Expert, Researcher at NÚKIB CZ, NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) and Doris Põld, CEO of ITL Estonian ICT Cluster and of course everyone in attendance.
