2. INTRODUCTION
The 4th Edition of Infosec Week was held from 06th until 10th October 2014 at
theNational Security Cabinet Office, Lisbon.
The ShadowSEC in Cooperation with CNCSeg (National Centre of Cibersecurity in
Portugal), UKTI (UK Trade & Investment) and the United Nations Interregional Crime and
Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) , in European Cyber Security Month (ECSM) promoted
through free Lectures, Round tables and Workshops, aimed to discuss the main national
and international trends about Cyber Security.
“The growing number of incidents and malicious attacks that target the infrastructure of
government information, public and private institutions, businesses and citizens, has
demonstrated the need for the country to raise a national cyber security structure, able to
ensure effective management crises, coordinate operational response to cyber attacks,
develop synergies national and enhance international cooperation in this field”.
“Our society is increasingly dependent on information systems and networks, particularly
the Internet, so that attacks on these systems can have serious human and economic
consequences”.
It is in this way that an event of this nature is indispensable, as it offers various discussions
and exchanges of views on issues of cyber security, as well as awareness of the delegates
to a range of emerging issues in the area.
3. ENISA TRAINING
ENISA and DG CONNECT jointly organised a Network and Information Security training
seminar, which took place on the 30th of September 2014 in Brussels. The training
covered topics such as handling incidents on mobile devices, analysing and sharing various
feeds in the fight against cyber threats, targeted attacks and countermeasures, and a
presentation on cyber exercises. In addition, a session on NIS education was held.
The ENISA trainers coordinated the workshop using ENISA's training material for CERT
teams. The participants included European Cyber Security Month coordinators from public
and private organisations involved in the deployment of the advocacy campaign for digital
citizens.

4. By supporting the implementation of the European Cyber Security Month, at
a local level, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research
Institute (UNICRI) aims to both raise awareness and share experiences on
key cyber security issues and to encourage cross-sector dialogue and
cooperation in this field.
Within this framework, UNICRI supported the organization of a closed door
meeting, chaired by the National Cyber Security Centre. The meeting marked
the official launch of the Cyber Security Centre and provided the ideal
platform to learn about the Centre’s mission and overall objectives, to
stimulate discussion between public authorities and the private sector and to
create an engaging environment for future cooperation.
The week-long event also served to showcase UNICRI strategy and activities
in securing cyberspace, in particular the Institute’s current project on
information sharing and public-private partnerships.
5. UKTI Portugal organised a trade mission to Lisbon for a cybersecurity event held at
the Portuguese Security Cabinet, where the National Cybersecurity Centre has just
