iPROCEEDS-2 and CyberEast, joint projects of the European Union and of the Council of Europe, supported the participation of some 20 stakeholders from the countries/area of the Eastern Partnership, South-East Europe and Türkiye at the 2023 Regional Cybersecurity Symposium- Ensuring Cyber Resilience: Securing Our Connected Future.
Tadeusz CHOMICKI, Ambassador for Cyber & Tech Affairs at the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, highlighted the necessity of a coordinated approach between various cybersecurity actors to effectively address cybercrime. He noted that “there is no other dimension of security which is so transnational.”
This event provided a forum for identifying challenges and establishing common solutions to strengthen cyber resilience. Council of Europe consultants underlined the impact of joint LEA-CSIRT criminal justice response to threats against critical information infrastructure, in line with the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention) and its Second Additional Protocol.
A series of interactive workshops took place at the Technical University of Moldova on day two of the event. Participants were engaged in hand-on exercises, which focused on incident management systems, threat intelligence platforms and means to accurately triage data during advanced attacks.
