Building the Foundations of Effective Cybersecurity, 18 November 2026, Online

Knowledge sharing, capacity building and stakeholder engagement are essential components of Europe's efforts to strengthen cybersecurity resilience. While the development of advanced technological solutions plays a crucial role in addressing cyber threats, ensuring that citizens, businesses, employees, public institutions and cybersecurity professionals have access to relevant knowledge and practical skills is equally important.

As digital technologies continue to advance, particularly with the growing adoption of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity education and awareness remain key to building a more secure digital environment.

In line with these objectives, the EU-funded INTERCEPT project is organising an online webinar titled "Building the Foundations of Effective Cybersecurity", taking place on 18 November 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00 CET.

The event will bring together experts from three INTERCEPT consortium partners: SI-CERT, Pošta Slovenije and T-2. Through practical presentations, participants will gain insights into common cybersecurity challenges and discover approaches to improving digital security in both professional and everyday settings.

Three Perspectives on Strengthening Cybersecurity

The webinar will address three complementary topics:

Latest Phishing Trends and Cybersecurity Cooperation

Matej Breznik from SI-CERT will provide insights into current phishing trends, highlighting the importance of recognising malicious activities and strengthening cooperation and information sharing among cybersecurity stakeholders.

Strengthening Account Security with Multi-Factor Authentication

Igor Unger from Pošta Slovenije will explain the role of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in protecting digital accounts, demonstrating why additional authentication methods are an important element of effective cybersecurity practices.

Building Cybersecurity Knowledge with CyberLab

Mojca Razboršek from T-2 will introduce CyberLab, the INTERCEPT project's online capacity-building platform. The platform offers educational content and interactive quizzes designed to help users develop their cybersecurity knowledge and continue learning independently.

Supporting Cybersecurity Awareness and Capacity Building

The webinar forms part of INTERCEPT's broader communication, dissemination and capacity-building activities, which aim to encourage knowledge exchange, stakeholder engagement and cybersecurity awareness.

By bringing together expertise from different organisations and making practical cybersecurity knowledge accessible to a wider audience, the initiative contributes to the broader European objective of strengthening cybersecurity capabilities and resilience.

The webinar is intended for a diverse audience, including citizens, employees, SMEs, business representatives, decision-makers, public-sector organisations and cybersecurity professionals.

No previous technical or cybersecurity knowledge is required, making the event accessible to anyone interested in improving their understanding of digital security.

The webinar "Building the Foundations of Effective Cybersecurity" will take place on 18 November 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00 CET, online via Microsoft Teams.

Participation is free of charge, but prior registration is required.

Background

INTERCEPT is an EU-funded cybersecurity project focused on strengthening cross-border cooperation and cyber threat intelligence sharing between Slovenia and Croatia. The project aims to develop a secure Threat Sharing Platform that supports Security Operations Centres (SOCs) in exchanging relevant threat information, improving situational awareness and strengthening their ability to respond to cybersecurity threats.

Alongside its technical activities, INTERCEPT places strong emphasis on knowledge sharing, stakeholder engagement and capacity building to support a more resilient European cybersecurity ecosystem.
