Priorities for the EU Cyber Defence Policy Framework 1. Supporting the development of Member States cyber defence capabilities related to CSDP In order to ensure the resilience of the networks supporting CSDP implementation, the focus shall be on both the improvement of the protection of EEAS managed CSDP structures’ communication networks and on the Member States’ development of cyber defence capabilities available for CSDP missions and operations. To this extent, Member States, the EEAS and EDA should work together to deliver effective cyber defence capability. The development of cyber defence capabilities and technologies should address all aspects of capability development, including doctrine, leadership, organisation, personnel, training, technology, infrastructure, logistics and interoperability. A continuous assessment of the vulnerabilities of the information infrastructures that support CSDP missions and operations is required, along with a near real-time understanding of the effectiveness of the protection. From an operational point of view, the primary focus of cyber defence activities will be to maintain the functionality of CSDP communication and information networks, unless specified otherwise within the mandate of the operations or missions. As CSDP military operations rely on a Command, Control, Communications and Computer (C4) infrastructure provided by the Member States, a certain degree of strategic convergence when planning cyber defence requirements for the information infrastructure is necessary. 15585/14 ANNEX FP/oza DG C 2B 4 EN
