Cyber defence is critical to both the EU's prosperity and security. Yet, the threat space it faces is vast in scope, highly
interconnected, deeply complex, and rapidly evolving. The EU's current cyber defence capacity remains fragmented across and
siloed within various institutions, agencies. In order to secure its own use of cyberspace, the EU must be bold. The CEPS
Task Force on Strengthening the EU's Cyber Defence Capabilities identified a clear EU-wide interest for greater coordination
and cooperation in this space. After a comparative analysis of alternative scenarios, the Task Force concluded in favour of
creating an EU Cyber Defence Agency with executive competencies and therefore, the ability to develop and utilise strategic
and operational capabilities at the EU level. This would mark a critical step towards a more effective and collaborative approach
to enhancing cyber security and resilience in the EU.
