3. Promotion of civil-military cooperation and synergies with wider EU cyber policies,
relevant EU institutions and agencies as well as with the private sector
Cyberspace is a rapidly developing domain where dual-use capabilities play an essential role and
where this framework will improve the synergy between CSDP and other EU horizontal policies
(such as space and maritime security policies) and strategies, such as the Maritime Security Strategy
and its Action Plan. Without prejudice to Member States' internal organisation and legislation, civilmilitary cooperation in the cyber domain will benefit from dual-use cyber capability development,
R&T, exchange of best practices, information exchange and early warning mechanisms, incident
response risk assessments and awareness raising. Joint activities in the field of training and
exercises will enhance cooperation and reduce costs across different policy areas.
EDA, European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) 4, European
Cybercrime Centre (EC3), together with other relevant EU Agencies, as well as the Member
States are encouraged, in the CSDP environment, to enhance their cooperation in the
following areas:
• Develop common cyber security and defence competence profiles based on international
best practises and certification used by EU Institutions, taking also into account private
sector certification standards;
• Contribute to develop further and adapt public sector cyber security and defence
organisational and technical standards for use in the defence and security sector. Where
necessary, build on the ongoing work of ENISA and EDA;
• Develop a working mechanism to exchange best practice on exercises, training and other
areas of possible civilian-military synergy;
• Leverage existing EU cybercrime prevention, investigation and forensics capabilities and
their enhanced utilisation in the development of cyber defence capabilities;
4
Within the mandate of ENISA and aligned with ENISA's multi-annual Working Plan, without overlapping with
Member States' competences.
