Background

Backgroud
During the last decades modern societies became more and more networked, generating a worldwide dependence to Internet and Cyberspace. This growing dependency is influencing the international security environment and the Alliance strategic vision, highlighting the need of setting-up a cooperative Cyber Defence Capability.
In the area of Cyber Defence, there are already three Smart Defence Projects: Multinational Cyber Defence Capability Development (MNCD2), 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.
At the Warsaw Summit, in July 2016, Allies formally assumed their commitment to strengthen their own Cyber Defence, and recognized cyberspace as a new operational domain. NATO leaders designated cyberspace as a ‘domain’, alongside land, sea and air. In order to better integrate cyber into planning and operations, NATO is also setting up a Cyber Operations Centre, as part of the new NATO Command Structure.
The joint declaration, signed in Warsaw, 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.
Cyber threats require a "all of state" response at both civilian and military arena, calling for the development of a highly skillful workforce, the reason why NATO and EU recognizes Cyber Defense Education and Training Cyber as one of the top level strategic priorities. The illiterates of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
Cyber resilience and preparedness are major tasks for NATO and EU operations and missions, where Cyber Security and Cyber Defence are closely connected as they address the same threats, requiring life-long learning, following the same basic principles and requiring similar measures and procedures.

Objectives
Building upon the encouraging results of the latest NATO CD SDP Conference, the 5th edition will represent an unusual opportunity to explore new ideas: from harmonising requirements to delivering operational capabilities; from research and innovation to transformation; from education, training and exercises to maintenance and support for operations, 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.
This 5th NATO CD Smart Defence Projects’ Conference has the following main objectives:
- Endorse a NATO-UE roadmap to energize and promote a robust network for an ecosystem of Education, Training and Exercises, and a Savvy Cyber workforce development;
- In line with the NATO-EU Joint Declaration, reinforce the NATO-EU complementarity of efforts and enhance the implementation of the common set of proposals by promoting a Synergetic Approach, namely on the areas of Cyber Defence Education, Training and Exercises;
- Develop synergies and stimulate the cooperation between all the NATO’s CD Projects in order to foster new initiatives within this Project’s cluster as well as with the wider CD community (e.g. national, international, academia and industry);
- Promote an active engagement and participation of industry and academia at NATO’s and National CD Capability Development Processes towards Innovation and Transformation of Cyber Defence E&T;
- The “Cyber Academia and Innovation Hub” possible contribution to NATO and EU.
This event intends to offer a free, open and wide discussion forum, providing industry and academia a unique opportunity to present and discuss new ideas, solutions and technical capabilities.

Event Details
According to NATO's strategic vision, 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 (just like Pooling & Sharing), capable of allowing a better prioritization and coordination of efforts between NATO and Allied Nations.
Cyber resilience and preparedness are major tasks for NATO and EU operations and missions, where Cyber Security and Cyber Defence are closely connected as they address the same threats, requiring life-long learning, following the same basic principles and requiring similar measures and procedures.The illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

The conference themes and highlights will be discussed by an audience of policy-makers, decision-makers from military, academia and industry, senior officials coming from Nations and from International Organizations as well as other interested parties. Participation of Industry and Academia is envisaged.
The conference starts on 16 May 2019 at 09:00 and it ends at 17:00.
