NATO Summit in Warsaw- outcome and main decisions

On 5 September, the Subcommittee will exchange views on the outcome and main decisions of the NATO Summit in Warsaw with representatives from NATO and the EEAS.

The Alliance is faced with an evolving complex threat environment. NATO and its Members States rely on strong and resilient cyber defences to fulfil the Alliance's core tasks of collective defence, crisis management and cooperative security.

NATO needs to be prepared to defend its networks and operations against the growing sophistication of the cyber threats and attacks it faces. NATO Summit in Warsaw is expected to recognise cyberspace as an operational domain, in addition to air, land and sea. Treating cyberspace as an operational domain will enable the Alliance to better protect its missions and operations, with more focus on training and military planning.
