Cybersecurity actors in the EU

In sintesi 09-01-2024

Cyberattack numbers have surged in recent years, leading to the formation of entities at all levels to prevent attacks or mitigate the harm they may cause. An efficient EU-level response requires coordination and the timely exchange of information. Several bodies and networks have been set up to this end; this paper explains their respective roles.

Capacità di ciberdifesa dell'UE

In sintesi 30-09-2021

Il ciberspazio è diventato la quinta dimensione della conflittualità, accanto alle tradizionali dimensioni rappresentate da mare, terra, aria e spazio. Man mano che le società si digitalizzano e diventano più connesse sul piano tecnologico, aumentano le vulnerabilità e i rischi informatici. L'Unione europea (UE) è estremamente attiva nel processo di rafforzamento delle capacità informatiche e dei quadri di coordinamento attraverso la raccolta di proposte e iniziative, in particolare a partire dal ...

On 13 September 2017, the Commission adopted a cybersecurity package with a series of initiatives to further improve EU cyber-resilience, deterrence and defence. A year later, the Commission presented a proposal for the creation of a European cybersecurity competence centre with a related network of national coordination centres. The initiative aims to improve and strengthen the EU's cybersecurity capacity, by stimulating the European technological and industrial cybersecurity ecosystem as well as ...

Cyber: How big is the threat?

In sintesi 09-07-2019

The internet has transformed the world into a global village transcending physical borders and palpable distances. Often described as 'fog' or a 'globalised network of networks', cyberspace is extremely complex, accessible to everyone and difficult to pinpoint. While thanks to these characteristics cyberspace has opened countless social, economic and political opportunities, it has also become a source of disruption, conflict and geopolitical rivalries. The European Union has recognised that cyber-security ...

ENISA and a new cybersecurity act

Briefing 05-07-2019

In September 2017, the Commission adopted a cybersecurity package with new initiatives to further improve EU cyber-resilience, deterrence and defence. As part of these, the Commission tabled a legislative proposal to strengthen the EU Agency for Network Information Security (ENISA). Following the adoption of the Network Information Security Directive in 2016, ENISA is expected to play a broader role in the EU's cybersecurity landscape but is constrained by its current mandate and resources. The Commission ...

La Commissione europea ha proposto di migliorare la resilienza e la risposta dell'UE agli attacchi informatici, tramite un mandato permanente e un ruolo rafforzato per l'Agenzia dell'Unione europea per la sicurezza delle reti e dell'informazione (ENISA), l'agenzia dell'UE per la cibersicurezza. La Commissione prevede, inoltre, la creazione del primo quadro di certificazione della cibersicurezza a livello dell'UE per i prodotti e i servizi TIC, nel cui ambito l'ENISA svolgerà un ruolo importante. ...

The Commission describes logically the significance of cyberdefence and the potential for improvement in this field for the EU. However, the impact assessment accompanying the proposal does not appear to have fully followed the requirements of the better regulation guidelines particularly as no open public consultation was conducted. The impact assessment presents a limited range of options as a result of a number of parameters that were pre-set from the outset and which could have constrained the ...

The scope of the problem could have been defined in more precise terms. Furthermore, it remains unclear how the proposed options could help achieve one of the two general objectives of the initiative namely enabling or building an online European identity as the options (including the preferred one) are mostly concerned with the technical improvements of the regulatory framework. Stakeholder views do not appear to be fully reflected in the report and it is unclear how they fed into the IA. A more ...

This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact assessment (IA) accompanying the above proposal, which is the main part of the 'Cybersecurity package', submitted on 13 September 2017 and referred to Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE). As announced in the State of the Union Address 2017 and the Commission's communication on Europe's Cyber Resilience System and Cybersecurity Industry, the initiative aims ...
