INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2017 International Conference NATO, EU & INDUSTRY: COOPERATION ON CYBER SECURITY A Transatlantic Exchange of Best Practices 28 June 2017 ATA Headquarters European Parliament, Brussels 20 Rue des Petits Carmes Club Prince Albert 1000 Brussels www.atahq.org ____________________________________________________________ NATO, EU & Industry: Cooperation on Cyber Security Atlantic Treaty Association Who We Are Founded in 1954, the Atlantic Treaty Association (ATA) is an organization of policy-makers designed to produce top-notch knowledge on strategic themes while conducting research, analyses, training, education, and information activities tailored to the promotion of transatlantic values and enhanced non-military cooperation between civil society and institutions. For over 60 years ATA has fostered the development of transatlantic security policy alongside diplomats, military, industry, academia and journalists in order to strengthen the bond between influential stakeholders within the Alliance. National Associations ATA Headquarters is based in Brussels and coordinates an extended and highly qualified network of 37 national Atlantic Councils and their respective youth divisions to facilitate policy development in key areas of security and defense. Youth Atlantic Treaty Association (YATA) Special relevance is attributed to the Youth Atlantic Treaty Association (YATA), our young professional contingent, designed to prepare the next generation of Atlanticist leaders to face the challenges and threats of the present and future security scenarios. 1 _________________________________________________________________________________ Atlantic Treaty Association ____________________________________________________________ NATO, EU & Industry: Cooperation on Cyber Security Cyber Security & Cyber Defence Cybersecurity incidents on critical networks and infrastructures has become a key strategic challenge both for NATO and EU Members. States and non-state actors are increasingly using these threats to achieve their diplomatic and military objectives. Recently, a series of cyber-attacks were launched against several State systems, which have included intelligence gathering operations on critical infrastructures such as the financial sector, hospitals and power plants. ©NATO NATO acknowledged that the impact of cyber-attacks represents a real challenge for our societies and made clear that cyber defense is part of the Alliance’s core task of collective defense. As Cyber threats do not respect borders, no country is invulnerable. To ensure that NATO and EU can effectively protect its citizens and territory against any threats, both organizations have recognized that cybersecurity is a key challenge to their core objectives, and they have adopted increasingly ambitious strategies. At the NATO Summit in Warsaw, the Cyber Defence Pledge was adopted to strengthen our cyber defenses and to establish new organizations and promulgated legislation to address these threats jointly with the EU. NATO EU Cooperation in Cyber Defence On February 2017, the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization signed an agreement aimed at strengthening their cooperation and ability to defend Allies from hybrid attacks, in particular, it focuses on the cyber dimension. The Technical Arrangement on Cyber Defence aims to facilitate technical information sharing between NCIRC and CERT-EU to improve cyber incident prevention, detection and response in both organisations and it represents a concrete example of NATO and the EU working together to enhance shared security. The signing of this agreement is an important milestone to enhance NATO and EU Cooperation as one of the objectives of the 2016 NATO Signing ceremony of the Technical Arrangement on Cyber Summit in Warsaw and the Global Strategy for European Foreign and Security Defence ©NATO Flickr Policy. The Role of the Private Sector In May 2017, a massive cyber attack crippled many Spanish businesses and 16 regional health authorities in Britain’s NHS while simultaneously travelling beyond Europe. Analysis shows that over 45,000 attacks in more than 70 countries took place, all using “ransomware”, an attack that locks computer users out of their machines unless they pay a bribe. The security and stability of the net, as well as the integrity of data flows, is of growing importance to our economies and our societies, thus the effective implementation of external cyber policies depends on cooperation across the public-private sector. Both the Alliance, through the Industry Cyber Partnership, highlighted during the Warsaw Summit, and the European Union, with the public-private network and information security NIS Platform and the Cybersecurity Strategy of the EU, adopted specific actions to support the public-private partnership to provide expertise of strategic importance for both organizations. 2 _________________________________________________________________________________ Atlantic Treaty Association ____________________________________________________________ NATO, EU & Industry: Cooperation on Cyber Security Concept Note Date 28th June 2017 – 16:15h 18:15H Venue European Parliament, Brussels – Room JAN 2Q2 Objective As threats in the cyber space continue to disrupt both the public and private sectors, often targeting critical infrastructures that supply essential services such as energy, water, healthcare or mobile services, member states of NATO & EU have enhanced their cooperation via a Technical Arrangement on Cyber Defence to advance the objectives set in the recent EU Global Strategy and NATO Warsaw Summit Declaration. With particular reference to the existing best practices used by some NATO & EU member states, this conference will focus on how both organizations can best use their existing tools to develop and implement a cooperative cyber security strategy. Goals This conference aims to: a) Bring together experts, policy makers, officials, and industry representatives to discuss the practical impact of NATO & EU’s recent Technical Arrangement on Cyber Defence. b) Analyze the best practices already being used by NATO & EU. c) Analyze the best practices being used by individual member states of NATO & EU. d) Provide specific policy recommendations towards achieving a cooperative cyber security strategy within the context of a more effective NATO-EU partnership.

LUCIOLLI President, Atlantic Treaty Association 16.25 KEYNOTE SPEECH Dr. Jamie SHEA Deputy Assistant Secretary General, NATO Emerging Security Challenges - MODERATOR Mr. Brooks TIGNER Chief Policy Analyst, Security Europe 16.35 SPECIAL SESSION The Vulnerability of Cyber Space Mr. Ryan M. GILLIS Vice President, Cybersecurity Strategy & Global Policy, Palo Alto Networks 16.55 TOPIC OF DISCUSSION Implementation of NATO & EU’s Strategy in the Field of Cyber Security: What Role for the Private Sector? Cyber security is critical for nations, businesses and individuals. However, existing cyber policies varies significantly between nations and international organizations, creating different approaches that have left several domains vulnerable, such as national security and individual data protection. The risk of a devastating cyber-attack against critical infrastructure is very real, and the lack of ability to protect the digital market place and privacy of individuals puts modern society in danger when conducting online communications, financial transactions and sensitive information sharing. In this framework, the Technical Arrangement on Cyber Defence between NATO & EU and the 42 concrete proposal for a better implementation of NATO-EU cooperation are decisive steps to ensuring a resilient and defendable cyberspace for NATO, EU and Partner countries. Panelists will address the new challenges and provide the audience with case studies and best practices that will show the added value for governments and their citizens, of an effective partnership between the public and private sectors to enhance the resilience of cyberspace. 4 _________________________________________________________________________________ Atlantic Treaty Association ____________________________________________________________ NATO, EU & Industry: Cooperation on Cyber Security - DISCUSSION Mr. Andreas SCHWAB EPP Coordinator, Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Mr. Gianni CUOZZO CEO, ASPISEC Ms. Chelsey SLACK Cyber Defence Section, NATO Emerging Security Challenges Division Mr. Mark SMITHAM Senior Manager of Cyber Security Policy, Microsoft Ing.
