The kick-off event and conference of the European Cyber Security Month-ECSM- brings together the public-private stakeholders in Europe. Their examples of cooperation are singled out as good practices, in order to be inspire followers in the entire community. Innovation, partnership and brokerage of information are the key drivers of the initiative.

We welcome decision makers, industry, academia and citizen representatives to join the European Commission and ENISA at the event.
