The EU Cyber Policy Framework (CDPF) as adopted in November 2014 at the Foreign Affairs Council is the major policy mechanism for achieving the EU cyber defence objectives. In that respect, the aim of the Cyber Defence conference is to highlight the necessity of rapid response and how the associated challenges can be met through different research and technology, education, training and exercises initiatives at EU level.
At the same time, gathering of representatives from governments, EU, academia, armed forces, industry, and innovation centers will encourage the dialogue between relevant stakeholders on necessary, appropriate and emerging innovations. Presentations on the operational challenges together with industry start-ups, cyber defence companies, government structures, and academic institutions are expected.
To reflect on these developments, the Journal of Defence & Security Technologies (JDST) issues this Call for Papers for a Special Issue on “Cyber Defence – Building a Rapid Response”.
