Project Deliverables

Launched in 2019, EU CyberNet is set to achieve four major deliverables: building a network of cybersecurity experts and stakeholders, developing a technical platform, providing training and assistance and becoming a knowledge hub of EU's external cyber engagements.

During its first phase from 2019 to 2025, EU CyberNet established itself as the EU’s flagship initiative for strengthening global cybersecurity capacity. Over six years, it built a network of more than 550 experts and 123 stakeholders, established a regional cyber capacity building centre LAC4, developed a knowledge hub and engaged with 100 countries. EU CyberNet has become the EU’s practical learning and coordination platform, ensuring coherence and efficiency across external cyber capacity building efforts.

The 2nd phase of EU CyberNet from 2025 onwards is designed to deepen and expand the cyber capacity building efforts through a strategic, coordinated and expert-driven approach. This phase, building on six years of success, will scale up support to EU institutions and partner countries, broaden regional engagement – particularly in the Indo-Pacific region – and strengthen collaboration with other EU-funded initiatives and global partners.

 

Community Building

Build robust communities of experts, stakeholders and projects to address the entirety of the EU’s external cyber capacity building requests. The Expert Pool facilitates the identification of top-tier cyber experts globally, enabling them to undertake short-term consultancy assignments tailored to the needs of the EU services as well as the Stakeholder Community and the Cyber Project Community. These communities foster synergies and coherence across various initiatives under the leadership of the EU CyberNet.  

Expertise and training services

Provide cyber capacity building expertise and training service for the EU and other partners through different curricula and relevant training modules requested by the European Commission, EU Delegations, partner countries, etc. The services aim at increasing the understanding of cybersecurity, raising awareness and improving partners capacities, as well as providing ad hoc advice on issues related to cybersecurity and capacity building, supporting relevant EU initiatives as well as other EU funded projects. 

Knowledge Hub

Facilitate knowledge exchange, coordination, and capacity development among stakeholders involved in external cyber capacity building initiatives. The platform aims to enhance collaboration, streamline efforts, and improve the effectiveness of external cyber capacity building activities by offering a comprehensive repository of information via the Project Mapping Tool on past and ongoing projects funded by the EU and EU Member States. Additionally, it provides practical advice and resources through the Operational Guidance to facilitate the implementation of such initiatives. Ultimately, it includes a variety of training materials and resources aimed at supporting both national and international cyber capacity building efforts. 

LAC4

EU CyberNet established the regional Latin America and Caribbean Cyber Competence Centre LAC4 in 2022 to facilitate practical cybersecurity and cybercrime collaboration between the LAC region and the EU. Through a physical training centre in Santo Domingo and four virtual subregional hubs across the region, LAC4 promotes cooperation among national and international stakeholders to maximise resources, strengthen resilience and improve cross-border interoperability to support digital transformation and counter cyber threats. From 2025 onwards, the LAC4 continues as separately. 

Vision

EU CyberNet marshals the top minds of the cybersecurity community within the European Union to fortify the security of our digital space.
