In 2025, cybercrime is expected to cost us more than $10 trillion, as the commercialisation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices expands, and societies and businesses digitalise. To counter these risks, both the US and the EU have bolstered their cyber policy agendas. The US 2022 National Cybersecurity Strategy and the EU 2020 Cybersecurity Strategy created a roadmap to improve resilience against cyberattacks. Additionally, the 2022 EU Cyber Resilience Act and the US Software Bill of Materials put the focus on the security of supply chains.

However, despite significant bilateral efforts, a transatlantic cybersecurity agenda still does not exist. This in-person Policy Dialogue will discuss how the EU and the US can face the common challenges of cybersecurity, such as the lack of cyber norms, the applicability of international law in cyberspace and the fight against cybercrime. Panellists will also explore the possibilities for a more integrated transatlantic approach to cyber policy, looking at the protection of critical infrastructure and how to mitigate emerging threats.
Participation is open to EPC members only, the media, and EU officials
