Recent cyber-attacks and the EU's cybersecurity strategy for the digital decade

Increasing digitalisation means that public administration at EU and national levels has come to rely on digital technologies as a means of carrying out their core functions, a process that has been intensified by the pandemic. This growing reliance on digital technologies, while beneficial, has also increased the risk of cyber-attacks, and key institutions at EU and national level have recently been targeted by cyber-attacks. During the June I plenary session, Members of the European Parliament will debate with the Council and the Commission on recent cyber-attacks in the EU, and discuss the European Union's cybersecurity strategy for the digital decade.
