About the EU CyberNet technical platform CynAct

The EU CyberNet network connects the cyber experts, the competent organisations and the EU’s ongoing and future efforts in external cyber capacity building. We aim to improve coordination between all parties and thus achieve a better overview of the EU-wide expertise. This also means better use of the valuable human resource and know-how that forms a critical building block of the Union’s daily cybersecurity.

You can find the Terms and Service here.

The core of our network is an online platform, through which experts in our community can join for various cybersecurity missions, meetings, conferences and exercises.

Experts in our network:

  1. share expertise through unique assignments in different locations around the world
  2. bring alternation and enrichment to their everyday professional lives through participating in calls for action
  3. establish new professional relationships across the EU and beyond
