EU-CyCLONe or European Cyber Crisis Liaison Organisation Network is a cooperation network for European Union members to national authorities in charge of cyber crisis management.[1] It was set up as part of the NIS 2 Directive.[2]

It was launched in 2020 and formalised in January 2023.[3] The chair rotates with the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.[3]

EU-CyCLONe will submit a report assessing its work to the EU Parliament and Council of the European Union every 18 months, starting 17 October 2024.[3]
