The event brought together experts from academia, industry, and the public sector to discuss key challenges related to cyber resilience, business continuity, and the protection of critical infrastructures in an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.
During his presentation, Christos Xenakis shared research outcomes and perspectives from the NITRO Digital Europe Action and CYBERUNITY projects, highlighting the role of research, cybersecurity education, advanced cyber range infrastructures, and emerging technologies in strengthening cyber resilience and organisational preparedness.
Key topics included:
- Cyber resilience and business continuity strategies
