Six Years of Cyber Capacity Building in Review

EU CyberNet concludes its first phase of successful building of cyber capacity globally and lays foundation for successful second phase from September 2025 onwards.

The first phase has shown what can be achieved when Europe is working together in structured expert-driven cyber cooperation.

During its first phase, 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.

Key achievements include providing expert training and tailored assistance to EU institutions, partner countries and EU Delegations; facilitating knowledge exchange through its CCB project mapping tool and training materials; and fostering cross-regional collaboration. The launch of the Latin America and Caribbean Cyber Competence Centre (LAC4) further anchored EU CyberNet’s role as a bridge between Europe and its global partners, providing a physical training centre and a comprehensive portfolio of activities to support capacity building and advance regional and cross-border cooperation across the LAC region.
