We had the great pleasure of welcoming Luc Dandurand, the new Head of the NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and members of his team at our premises.

Saâd Kadhi, the Head of CERT-EU, provided an overview of our operations and highlighted the range of services and support we extend to our constituents, the 90 EU institutions, bodies, and agencies. He further elaborated on our evolving role as the Cybersecurity Service for these EU entities, in line with the recent Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2023/2841 (for more info read here : https://www.cert.europa.eu/blog/harder-better-faster-stronger).

The visit sparked an engaging exchange of insights with our NCSC colleagues on current cybersecurity topics of mutual interest. We delved into discussions about how to better leverage the technical arrangement which we jointly established in 2016.

In summary, the visit was productive. It set the stage for an even tighter collaboration between our two entities. This will allow us to better serve our respective constituencies and keep threats at bay.
