Introduction
Cyber Europe is a series of European Union-level cyber incident and crisis management exercises organised by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA)2 , intended for both the public and private sector across the European Union and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Member States. These exercises simulate the escalation of large-scale cybersecurity incidents into cybersecurity crises. They provide opportunities to analyse sophisticated technical cybersecurity incidents and assess participants' ability to manage complex scenarios.
Cyber Europe 2024, which focused on the energy sector, took place from 19 to 20 June in a hybrid format; it was coordinated from the Exercise Control Centre in Athens, Greece, where the organising team and most national Planners were based. (Local) Planners were involved with preparing, designing, and organising their teams' participation, determining objectives, scenarios, and logistics. During the cybersecurity exercise, they were responsible for coordinating participant involvement, ensuring the exercise runs smoothly, and monitoring the progress of the exercise at the organisational level. They assisted the Players with any questions they had about the scenario.
The local Planners, along with the Players, participated online. Players were the individuals or entities actively involved in exercise. They contributed to Cyber Europe 2024 by executing assigned tasks, making decisions, and responding to simulated events or incidents. Recognising the energy sector's critical importance to the EU’s economic growth and development, and its status as a prime target for cyberattacks, this year's exercise scenario was carefully designed to help stakeholders - including companies and industry leaders - prepare for, and proactively address, evolving cybersecurity threats
