Abstract
Cyberspace is slowly but surely evolving into the battlefield of the future. The rise of computational power allows not only for state-sponsored hacking groups, but for lone hackers or organizations to wreak havoc on infrastructure, either for financial or political gain. Cooperation between states, on multiple levels, is required to defend their cyber sovereignty effectively. In this paper, we will identify Cyber Emergency Response Team (CΕRT) and Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) which are under national or governmental supervision, and we will draw comparisons between the European Union and NATO. Furthermore, we will examine whether the cooperation between European Union Member States on the aforementioned technical level is reflected on the World Wide Web. Inter-linkage and co-mention analyses have been conducted to map the organizations’ footprint on Cyberspace, using Webometric Analyst.
