Further emphasis was placed on the ESDC activities and trainings priority on cyber in connection with: the EU Strategic Compass; EU policy on cyber defence; the European Cybersecurity Skills Framework (ECSF) of ENISA; the Cybersecurity Skills Academy; the EU’s Cybersecurity Strategy for the New Decade; cooperation with NATO; and the capacity for external action with the Eastern Partnership, Western Balkans, Indo-Pacific and MENA countries.
Moreover, this EU Symposium provided an update on the progress of CSDP command and control projects and explored forward-looking topics such multi-domain command and control, the digitalisation of EU defence, and collaborative opportunities in developing ‘information superiority’ capabilities.
