Europe’s digital security and resilience depend on the commitment of its regions and cities and real public-private partnerships. This is how to start a digital transformation, based on security and values. That is why CYBERSEC CEE Regions&Cities was created. As one of the most influential conferences in Europe, its mission is to strengthen and highlight the potential of interregional cooperation and regional opportunities in Central and Eastern Europe.
