Why
FIC Agora?
The FIC Agora is the strategic reflection platform of the International Cybersecurity Forum. Its objective is to contribute to the public debate on the major issues of trust and digital security throughout the year.
This high-level platform was prompted by the need for elected officials, public decision-makers, private and public sector managers and academics to exchange and debate on cyber threats, public policies (resilience, the fight against cybercrime, digital diplomacy, industrial policy, training, etc.) and the major societal challenges brought about by technological disruption.
Because responses to cybersecurity issues require close coordination between the territorial, national and European levels, the Agora conducts its work both in Paris and in Brussels. In order to adapt to the sensitivity of the subjects dealt with, it also offers different frameworks for exchange and dissemination, both restricted and open.
