Oud programma

NATO & Cyber Defense

On December 17, 2020, the Netherlands Atlantic Youth organized a program with cybersecurity expert Max Smeets, titled:

NATO & Cyber Defense: adapting to a changing security environment

Last year, NATO reached a landmark that went largely unnoticed: there are now more member states which have publicly established a military cyber command than there are member states which have not. Several allies have offered their ‘sovereign cyber effects’ for the benefit of NATO missions. Furthermore, NATO reiterated its commitment to implement the Cyber Defense Pledge and establish the Cyber Operation Center to be fully operational in 2023 at the Brussels & London Summits. But, what does this exactly mean? Can NATO effectively engage in cyberspace the coming years? And what are the main organizational and strategic questions NATO members are currently grappling with?
