Background

Antecedentes | Background


A NATO e a UE reconhecem a Ciberdefesa como uma das prioridades estratégicas. Que as ameaças cyber requerem uma resposta, que é simultaneamente civil e militar, com pessoal bem treinado e com diferentes níveis de conhecimento e de treino. A proteção do ciberespaço requer I&D e capacidades adequadas, em constante coordenação com os atores relevantes neste domínio, de forma a criar uma postura de Ciberdefesa coordenada e única, maximizando a proteção e a resiliência dos sistemas suportados pelas TIC.

O trabalho que foi desenvolvido para melhorar a Ciberdefesa e a Cibersegurança na NATO e na UE ainda está na sua fase inicial. Com este evento da era digital não poderemos perder tempo, no aproveitamento desta oportunidade dourada, para planear e implementar o próximo passo em conjunto, gastando de forma eficiente, sendo isto apenas possível através de uma verdadeira ação sinérgica e concertada.

De acordo com o Conceito Estratégico da NATO, adotado em novembro de 2010 em Lisboa, o conceito de Smart Defence procura estimular sinergias e promover os esforços de cooperação das Nações Aliadas, a fim de assegurar o desenvolvimento, a aquisição e a manutenção das necessárias capacidades militares. O conceito de Smart Defence é assim assumido pela NATO como uma forma de não duplicação e integração das iniciativas nacionais de desenvolvimento de capacidades (pooling and sharing), capaz de permitir uma melhor priorização e coordenação dos esforços em curso e a desenvolver entre a NATO e as Nações Aliadas.

Na área da Ciberdefesa, já existem três Projetos de Smart Defence: o Multinational Cyber Defence Capability Development (MN CD2), o Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP) e o Multinational Cyber Defence Education and Training (MNCDE&T). O Smart Defence da NATO exige assim uma cultura de cooperação renovada e exige também uma abordagem inovadora para melhorar a Ciberdefesa da Aliança.

A declaração conjunta assinada em Varsóvia em 8 de julho de 2016 conferiu um novo impulso à cooperação estratégica NATO-UE, salientando a necessidade de adotar um quadro multidimensional (NATO-UE) e uma abordagem sinérgica (Smart Defence e Pooling & Sharing) para reforçar a complementaridade dos esforços conjuntos a desenvolver no domínio da Cibersegurança e da Ciberdefesa.

NATO and EU recognizes Cyber Defence as one of the strategic priorities. Cyber threats require a response that is both civilian and military and this requires well - trained personal on different expertise and training levels. To protect the cyberspace, we will need more research, better capabilities, more training and exercises in constant coordination with all relevant stakeholders to create a unified and coordinated Cyber Defence posture and to maximize resilience and protection of ICT-based systems.

The work done to improve world’s Cyber Security and Cyber Defence is still in its initial phases. We must lose no time in embracing this golden opportunity of the advent of the digital era to plan and implement the next steps together, spending efficiently, and that is only possible if we join forces.

According NATO Strategic Concept, adopted in November 2010 in Lisbon, Smart Defence seeks to stimulate synergies and foster Allied Nations cooperative efforts, in order to ensure the development, acquisition and maintenance of the necessary military capabilities. Smart Defence is thus assumed by NATO as a way of non-duplication and integration of national capability development initiatives (pooling and sharing), capable of allowing a better prioritization and coordination of efforts between NATO and Allied Nations.

In the area of Cyber Defence, there are already three Smart Defence Projects: Multinational Cyber Defence Capability Development (MN CD2), Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP) and Multinational Cyber Defence Education and Training (MNCDE&T). NATO’s Smart Defence calls for a renewed cooperation culture and requires an innovative approach in order to better enhance the Alliance’s Cyber Defence.

The joint declaration signed in Warsaw on 8 July 2016, gave a new impetus and substance to NATO-EU cooperation, highlighting the need to adopt a multidimensional framework (NATO-EU) and a synergetic approach in order to reinforce the NATO-EU complementarity of efforts on the field of Cyber Security and Cyber Defence.

Com base nos resultados encorajadores das últimas Conferências CD SDP da NATO, a 4ª edição desta Conferência pretende reforçar o desenvolvimento de sinergias, a complementaridade dos esforços NATO-UE no domínio da Cibersegurança e da Ciberdefesa e estimular a cooperação entre todos os Projetos de Smart Defence na área da Ciberdefesa. Neste âmbito, será dada especial atenção à cooperação da NATO com a indústria, com o meio académico e às novas oportunidades de cooperação NATO-UE no domínio cibernético.
De acordo com esta ideia, os projetos relacionados com a Ciberdefesa (MNCD2, MISP e MNCDE&T) estão fortemente empenhados em unir esforços e trabalhar em conjunto com a indústria e o meio académico, construindo a necessária ponte entre as iniciativas internacionais e nacionais.

Building upon the encouraging results of the latest NATO CD SDP Conference, the 4th edition will represent an unusual opportunity to explore new ideas, towards a more synergetic approach between all the NATO Cyber Defence Smart Defence Projects, enhancing cooperation with industry and academia to transformation, innovation and capability building and reinforcing the NATO-EU complementarity of efforts on the field of Cyber Security and Cyber Defence.
In line with this idea, Cyber Defence related Projects (MNCD2, MISP and MNCDE&T) are strongly committed to join efforts and work together with industry and academia, building the necessary bridges between international and national initiatives.

Esta 4ª Conferência dos Projetos de Smart Defence da NATO tem os seguintes objetivos principais:

  • Reforçar a complementaridade dos esforços NATO-UE no domínio da Cibersegurança e da Ciberdefesa.
  • Em linha com a recente Declaração Conjunta NATO-UE, reforçar a implementação do conjunto de propostas comuns através da promoção de uma abordagem sinérgica (Smart Defence e Pooling & Sharing), nomeadamente nas áreas da Educação, Formação e Exercícios de Ciberdefesa.
  • Desenvolver sinergias e estimular a cooperação entre todos os projetos CD da NATO, a fim de fomentar novas iniciativas no âmbito deste cluster de projetos, bem como com a comunidade de CD em geral (por exemplo, nacionais, internacionais, académicos e industriais).
  • Discutir o currículo comum e o papel das Universidades no desenvolvimento de uma Cyber Workforce experiente, promover o envolvimento e a participação da Industria e das Universidades no processo de desenvolvimento de capacidades da NATO e nacionais, no sentido da transformação e inovação da E&T de Ciberdefesa.
  • A implementação do “Cyber Academia and Innovation Hub”.
  • Este evento tem a intenção de oferecer um fórum alargado de discussão livre e aberta, proporcionando à indústria e ao meio académico uma oportunidade única para apresentar e discutir novas ideias, soluções e capacidades técnicas.
