With NATO and its member states recognizing cyber as a warfighting domain, discussions are increasing about what this means for civil-military cyber collaboration, with a specific focus on improving the ways in which defence forces work with civilian partners to protect critical civilian infrastructure. As the cyber domain is almost completely run by civilian entities, civil-military cooperation is essential. Continuous improvement to cyber threat response requires collaboration between civilian and military entities. Defence agencies, governments, and industry leaders must adopt a bold approach to information sharing and cooperation to strengthen cyber resilience and effectively manage cyber crises.

But how can we effectively strengthen cyber threat response if civilian and military entities continue to operate in silos? Join our panel discussion with representatives from the armed forces and the civilian cyber domain.
