8th CyCLONe Officers meeting

The Czech Presidency at the Council of the European Union and ENISA are hosting the 8th CyCLONe Officers meeting, that will take place in Brno on 22nd and 23rd of September.

 The Cyber Crisis Liaison Organisation Network (CyCLONe) is a cooperation network for Member States national authorities in charge of cyber crisis management to collaborate and develop timely information sharing and situational awareness based on tools and support provided by the EU Agency for Cybersecurity, which serves as the CyCLONe Secretariat.

The goals of EU CyCLONe are to:

• establish a network to enabling the cooperation of the appointed national agencies and authorities in charge of cyber crisis management;
• provide the missing link between the EU CSIRTs Network (technical level) and the EU political level.

Considering the importance of the network within the EU cybersecurity landscape, the European Commission proposal for the revised NIS Directive includes a provision for the formal establishment of the European Cyber Crises Liaison Organisation Network (EU CyCLONe).
