The second phase of the third and largest Cyber Europe 2014 cyber security exercise took place on 30 October 2014 in 29 European countries. This exercise is organised every two years by the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) in collaboration with the Member States of the European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA).
With the participation of around 200 organizations and 400 security professionals in Europe's cyberspace, the exercise aims to:
- test the existing standard cooperation procedures and mechanisms for managing cyber-crises in Europe;
- enhance national-level capabilities;
- explore existing cooperation between private and public sectors;
- analyse escalation and de-escalation processes (technical, operational and strategic level);
- understand public affairs issues linked to large scale cyber-attacks.
