Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the European Democracy Resilience Network (EDRN) pilot, a joint initiative by the CyberPeace Institute and EU DisinfoLab designed to support civil society actors facing hybrid threats.
Building on the success of the Institute’s cybersecurity support programme (CyberPeace Builders), the EDRN model expands protection to cover disinformation, doxing, impersonation, and other digitally enabled attacks. In this session, Inês Narciso and Tanner Wagner (CyberPeace Institute) will share key insights from the pilot, including the tools and support mechanisms CSOs say they need to remain resilient, and why collaboration on defense is not only possible, but paramount.
