This month, DPN officially found a new home within Alliance for Peacebuilding 🏠 @AfPeacebuilding will carry our work forward, advancing the peacebuilding field and building awareness to prevent cyberattacks.
Today, the foreign ministries of Ukraine and ten other countries established the Tallinn mechanism on cybersecurity: Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, the UK, and the US.
The Tallinn mechanism will help strengthen Ukraine's cybersecurity and civilian cyber capabilities, better defend itself in cyberspace, and meet long-term cyber resilience needs.
The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Tallin mechanism states will coordinate efforts to mobilize additional support for the specialized cybersecurity institutions.
The group will also coordinate closely with the EU and NATO and remains open to new members.
