EU CyberNet Summer School 2024 Day 1 Wrap-Up

The EU CyberNet Summer School 2024 commenced today in Lisbon with focus on advancing the cybersecurity capabilities of experts across the EU, with a particular focus on protecting critical infrastructures.

Participants engaged with experts Daniel Ioniţă and Sérgio Bryton in a thorough exploration of critical infrastructures, discussing challenges and the need for resilience in the event of crises. Experts explained critical infrastructures within the EU, intra-EU cooperation and resilience, and emerging challenges along the impact of legislative framework such as the Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive.
