About

The increase in the frequency, magnitude and sophistication of cyber-attacks is endangering Transatlantic security and stability – and has prompted NATO allies to try and draw up robust and resilient cyber defence strategies. To be effective, cyber defence requires enhanced cooperation and partnership between the public and private sectors, a fact that was recognized by the NATO Industry Cyber Partnership (NICP), adopted by NATO leaders at the summit in Wales Summit last year.

Twelve months on, what progress has been made on turning this commitment to public-private cooperation in cyber defence into reality? How can information-sharing between public and private sector partners be improved? Should NATO and the EU work towards a common framework for cooperation with the private sector in cyberdefence? Can the EU’s strategy for a Digital Single Market also benefit NATO’s cyber defence capabilities?
