The EU’s leadership in shaping the drone sector
Drones represent a significant technological breakthrough that brings both exciting opportunities and
Not a day goes by without a cyberattack targeting public services (e.g., hospitals, municipalities), companies or individuals. Ransomware, phishing, and malware attacks are getting increased attention worldwide and are widely feared, as a breach can have serious ramifications. Whilst vigilance has increased; the implementation of cybersecurity, threat prevention, analysis, and response mechanisms are still lagging globally. The first step is naturally to reduce the knowledge gap between perpetrators and victims by increasing the general awareness surrounding cybersecurity issues, whilst highlighting existing practical solutions in place to support organizations and individuals.
To do so, Hague worked closely with EclecticIQ to convey its expert vision on cybersecurity matters and leverage it in its corporate messaging across channels. This was instrumental in increasing the company’s visibility in the media as well as sparking conversation and challenging the status quo, in the cybersecurity space. The elaboration of a corporate story played a key role in this so that the mission and vision of the company can be conveyed consistently.
Indeed, to understand the European level of awareness of cyber threats, long-term strategies for prevention and response, and assess the potential room for collaboration with technology companies; Hague led interviews with representatives of government and defence organisations in The Netherlands, France and at the EU level. These discussions led to very interesting exchanges between EclecticIQ and EU policy makers where EclecticIQ was able to advise and support efforts on topics such as European cybersecurity policies.
A cornerstone of EclecticIQ’s mission is strengthened European sovereignty. The company worked to advise policymakers on safeguarding this goal. To support this, meetings were organised with EU decision-makers revising the NIS Directive. Permanent Representations of key Member States also participated. Recommendations for higher cybersecurity standards were prepared and aligned with EclecticIQ’s corporate narrative. As a result, political negotiations concluded with agreement on strengthening European cybersecurity sovereignty, reflecting EclecticIQ’s input.
European-born company, EclecticIQ’s goal was to elevate the international recognition of its expertise to demonstrate that sovereignty is possible and that quality alternatives to cybersecurity multinationals exist. Hague supported the development of a detailed customer mapping for EclecticIQ’s solutions in the government sector and carried out interviews to better outline EclecticIQ’s vision of cybersecurity, their needs, and their recommendations.
