A war in cyberspace? – How to strengthen EU cybersecurity
Book launch: ‘It’s not a data breach, it’s a surprise backup – fostering cybersecurity solutions for citizens and SME’.
Book launch: ‘It’s not a data breach, it’s a surprise backup – fostering cybersecurity solutions for citizens and SME’.
According to studies, cybercrime constitutes half of all the crimes perpetrated in some member-state and accounts for losses worth billions of euros per year. Nevertheless, most hacks happen via known exploits, where hackers know the IT networks better than companies. While Europe has stepped up with adopting a cybersecurity strategy and the NIS Directive or the new European cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre, we see a significant variation on the member-state level.
The aim of this project is to provide measures to strengthen the cybersecurity infrastructure at European and national level. Minimizing cybercrime is generally linked to business preparedness and citizen knowledge. Therefore, these groups are given special consideration in the analysis and policy recommendations.
In the first part, the findings of the publication ‘It’s not a data breach, it’s a surprise backup – fostering cybersecurity’ will be presented with the study authors. The second part is dedicated to the question of the state of cybersecurity in Europe and what impact current geopolitical events have on cybersecurity.
