The cornerstone of the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) is to explore a more robust cross border cooperation in the fields of energy, transport and digital infrastructure. All of today’s large-scale infrastructure projects have a digital layer, which needs to be secure and trusted. Thus, those three pillars need to be supplemented by a cross-dimensional cooperation in the field of cybersecurity and new generation telecommunication networks. Its main task would be to ensure security and resilience of digitalizing infrastructure through a dialogue and cooperation between public and private entities.

We are convinced that the question of cybersecurity of infrastructure is of particular importance, especially in our geographic zone. Due to its strategic location and economic potential, the Three Seas region is of particular interest to global actors, some of which pose serious threats to cyberspace. Closer cooperation between the countries of our region, using the format of the Three Seas Initiative, would allow us to better respond to these threats as well as to create new safe cybersec solutions in our region. 

Therefore, building upon the Tallinn Consensus on Trusted Connectivity, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland would like to explore further cooperation in the field of cybersecurity between high political leadership, respective agencies and business, with the purpose to exchange ideas, share experience and strengthen the region’s capacity in developing secure and resilient solutions. It could be achieved by connecting potential providers of high end cybersec technologies from the region with end-users of these solutions. We are fully convinced that only by pooling our individual resources and experience, we would be able to compete successfully on global markets as providers of such solutions, at the same time creating a strong 3SI brand in cybersecurity.

The seminar will be held in hybrid mode (both physical and virtual attendance).
