EU4Digital: Improving Cyber Resilience in the EaP Countries

Duration November 2019 - November 2023

The main objective of EU4Digital initiative is to improve cyber resilience in the six countries of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) region, in line with EU norms and best practices with focus on the NIS Directive.

eGA consults with partner organisations EaP organisations to:

I. Strengthen the national cybersecurity governance and legal framework across the EaP countries, in line with the EU NIS Directive.
II. Develop frameworks for the protection of operators of essential services and critical information infrastructure in the EaP countries, in line with the EU’s relevant policy and legal frameworks.
III. Increase the operational capacities for cybersecurity incidents management in the EaP countries.

What did we want to achieve?
  • National cybersecurity strategies, relevant legal frameworks, and implementation documents were developed and tailored in alignment with the EU NIS Directive.
  • The involvement and participation of the private sector and civil society in cybersecurity decision-making were increased.
  • A Cyber Awareness (Cyber Hygiene) framework for all EaP partner countries was proposed.
  • Owners and/or service providers of critical information infrastructure and operators of essential services were identified in accordance with the EU NIS Directive.
  • National/governmental CSIRTs/CERTs were designated and established, with operational capacities for incident management created.
  • Reporting, monitoring, and threat assessment mechanisms were established to produce national yearly evaluations based on EU best practices.
