As geopolitical tensions rise, cyber security has become a key element of defence strategies. Approach Cyber is helping to strengthen cyber defences in both national and European contexts, responding to the urgent need for advanced defences in a time of global instability.
Emphasis on interoperability
The need for interoperable cyber defence technologies is crucial for effective collaboration within European militaries. This requirement, emphasised by officials such as Belgian Defence Minister Ludivine Dedonder, is central to a unified European defence strategy, with interoperability in cyberspace a key focus.
Strategic developments: Cyber Command and the STAR Plan
