In this exclusive session, the new book “Cybersecurity in Latvia: Forging Resilience amidst Emerging Threats” will be launched. Following the presentation of the book, authors of the book will discuss the main questions:

• How military-grade global cyber threats translate into everyday digital risks, and why collective international efforts are vital to address them
• What it takes to develop a digitally resilient and cyber-aware population
• How to close the skills gap through targeted education and training
• How national strategies can support – rather than bypass – grassroots capabilitiesWhy shared responsibility must be more than a slogan in the age of hybrid threats
