The project seeks to enhance the participation of various stakeholders in regional and global discussions on responsible behaviour and resilience in cyberspace. By building capacity and sharing knowledge, EU Cyber Direct aims to promote the EU's standards, policies, and best practices. It is dedicated to strengthening the global dialogue on cyber diplomacy and encouraging a more unified approach to cybersecurity challenges.
EU Cyber Direct is structured around four key themes: (1) conflict prevention and advancing responsible behaviour in cyberspace through international law, norms, and confidence-building measures, (2) cyber resilience and protection of critical infrastructure, (3) combating cybercrime and ensuring criminal justice in cyberspace, and (4) addressing the impact of new and emerging technologies that have the potential to disrupt cybersecurity. These themes guide the initiative's efforts to promote a more secure and resilient global cyber environment.
