The European Union External Cyber Capacity Building Network – or the EU CyberNet – launched in September 2019 for a duration of four years. Its purpose is to 1) strengthen the global delivery, coordination and coherence of the EU’s external cyber capacity building projects, and 2) reinforce the EU’s own capacity to provide technical assistance to third countries in the field of cybersecurity and countering cybercrime. The EU CyberNet is a project led by the Estonian Information System Authority in consortium with competent authorities from Finland, Germany and Luxembourg that aims to create a network of cyber experts and establish a community of stakeholders to support the EU and implement its cyber capacity building initiatives in EU‘s partner countries. The project is funded by the European Union (Directorate-General for International Development and Cooperation).
