From the frontline of cybersecurity challenges, Ievgen Vladimirov, a founder and honorary member of the International Cybersecurity University, gave a keynote address on a live link from Kyiv.

Other guest speakers and panellists included:

Another highlight of the event was the presentation and demonstration of six shortlisted project 'key exploitable and innovative results' which an independent jury then reviewed.

In addition, the project work leaders  showcased their achievements on governance to standardisation, from blueprint research to skills training and also share their visions for the future in each of these areas.

All in all, this was a fitting and remarkable opportunity to discover what was learnt in CyberSec4Europe and to understand its vision for the way forward for the European cybersecurity community.
