Cyber security is an integral part of European security. Whether it is using connected devices or power grids, or using the services of banks, air transport, public administrations or hospitals, citizens must be guaranteed to be protected from cyber threats. The economy, democracy and society of the EU depend, now more than ever, on secure and reliable digital tools and connectivity. Cybersecurity is therefore essential to create a digital, green and resilient Europe. Improving cyber security is therefore of paramount importance for people to trust, use and benefit from innovations, connectivity and automation, as well as to safeguard fundamental rights and freedoms, including rights to privacy and data protection. personal data as well as freedom of expression and information. The goal of the strategy is to strengthen Europe’s collective resilience against cyber threats and ensure that all citizens and businesses can fully benefit from secure and reliable digital services and tools. The strategy defines how the EU intends to protect citizens, businesses and institutions from cyber threats, promote international cooperation and help ensure a global and open internet. The regulatory framework supporting the cyber security strategy is divided into numerous regulations, sometimes global and sometimes sector-specific, not fully harmonized with each other, an aspect recently highlighted by the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS). Within the European strategy, the idea of cyberspace is founded on the rule of law, human rights, fundamental freedoms and democratic values that generate social, economic and political development on a global level and contribute to a Union of security. International cooperation is an essential element in maintaining a global, open, stable and secure cyberspace. To achieve this, the European Union will promote international norms and standards, especially in sectors such as AI, Cloud, quantum computing, which reflect these core values of the EU by collaborating with its international partners in the United Nations and others. relevant locations.
