An essential aspect of this TTX is its focus on fostering collaboration and communication among participants from diverse backgrounds. By engaging representatives from defence organisations, universities, NGOs, cybersecurity companies, and national authorities, the exercise aims to promote a holistic approach to addressing cyber challenges. This diversity enriches the discussions, allowing for a multi-dimensional exploration of solutions and strategies.

Participants will assume various roles as representatives from national authorities and agencies, collaborating with counterparts from other member states, institutions, and the cybersecurity industry, including specialists from the defence sector. This collaboration aims to enhance the mechanisms and capabilities for working across different domains. Their collective expertise is critical in ensuring that the exercise scenarios, while fictional, provide a realistic representation of the daily threats and challenges in cybersecurity. With their direct experience in managing cyber threats, these professionals will introduce a practical aspect to the exercise, effectively linking theoretical concepts to their application in the real world.
