On Wednesday 24 February from 14:00, EuroCloud Luxembourg, in collaboration with the Haut-Commissariat à la protection nationale (HCPN) and the European Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) will be organising the conference entitled "Cyber Europe 2016: Luxembourg participation" at the Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg-Kirchberg. 

This conference will provide Luxembourg companies with the relevant information on the Exercise "Cyber Europe 2016", a European initiative. ENISA will present the European context of the exercise and the benefit that Luxembourg can take from participating in the exercise, and HCPN will explain how the exercise will unfold.

In 2016, European countries and the EU Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) will organise the 4th pan-European cyber crisis exercise, Cyber Europe 2016 (CE2016). CE2016 is part of Cyber Europe series of exercises launched in 2010 and held every two years. The last exercise in the series, Cyber Europe 2014, involved over 1,000 participants from across Europe.

What is Cyber Europe?

- Cyber Europe exercises are simulations of large-scale cybersecurity incidents that escalate to EU-wide cyber crises.

- The exercises offer opportunities to analyse advanced cybersecurity incidents but also to deal with complex business continuity and crisis management situations.

- Cyber Europe exercises feature exciting scenarios, inspired by real-life events, developed by European cybersecurity experts.

- The exercise is organised by the public stakeholders from participating European countries and the ENISA cyber crisis cooperation team.

- Because most countries across Europe participate, international cooperation between all participating organisations is inherent to the gameplay. 

- It is a flexible learning experience: from a single analyst up to an entire organization, opt-in opt-out scenarios, you customize the exercise to your needs.
