Background and Objetives

Background
During the last two decades, the world has been deeply influenced by the digital revolution and
the rapid pace of ICT developments. Information Age brought an unprecedented economic and
social development but also created new security challenges and risks, mainly due to modern
societies increasing network dependencies.
Besides its enormous strategic value, internet and cyberspace became an important attack vector
targeting individuals, enterprises, critical infrastructures, states electronic government processes
and even Law Enforcement and Armed Forces Networks. Taking into account that cyberspace
has no physical borders and attending to the growing disruptive and destructive power of cyber
threats, the new NATO strategic vision highlighted the need of setting-up a cooperative cyber
defence capability in order to meet current and future security and defence challenges.
According to the NATO Strategic Concept, adopted in November 2010 in Lisbon, the concept of
Smart Defence seeks to stimulate synergies and foster Allied Nations cooperative efforts, in order
to ensure the development, acquisition and maintenance of the necessary military capabilities.
Smart Defence is thus assumed by NATO as a way of non-duplication and integration of national
capability development initiatives (pooling and sharing), capable of allowing a better prioritization
and coordination of efforts between NATO and Allied Nations.
Due to severe budget constraints and the scarcity of resources, Smart Defence is seen today as
a pragmatic and coherent way to generate the Cyber Defence capabilities that the Alliance needs
to face future challenges. In the area of Cyber Defence, there are already three Smart Defence
Projects: Multinational Cyber Defence Capability Development (MN CD2), Malware Information
Sharing Platform (MISP) and Multinational Cyber Defence Education and Training (MNCDE&T).

Objectives
NATOs Smart Defence calls for a renewed cooperation culture and requires an innovative
approach in order to better enhance the Alliances military capability development process.
In line with this idea, Cyber Defence related Projects (MNCD2, MISP and MNCDE&T) are
strongly committed to join efforts and work together with industry and academia, building the
necessary bridges between international and national initiatives.
This first NATO CD Smart Defence Projects (CD SDP) Conference has the following main
objectives:

Develop synergies and stimulate the cooperation between all the NATOs CD Projects
(MNCD2, MISP and MNCDE&T) in order to foster new initiatives within this Projects cluster
as well as with the wider CD community (e.g. national, international, academia and industry);

Discuss Cyber Defence Competencies & Skills and the existing Organizational Frameworks
(national and international) in order to identify the requirements of CD E&T at all levels.

Promote an active engagement and participation of industry and academia at NATOs and
National CD Capability Development processes.

Develop and reinforce national and international cooperation, namely at the existing
multinational Cyber Security and Cyber Defence initiatives.

Promote a Cyber Security and Cyber Defence strategic culture that may stimulate national
synergies and foster Allies cooperation.

This event intends to offer the CD Community a free, open and wide discussion forum, providing
industry and academia a unique opportunity to present and discuss new ideas, solutions and
technical capabilities.
