Cybersecurity actors in the EU
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.

Zdolności cyberobronne UE
Cyberprzestrzeń stała się piątą domeną wojny obok tradycyjnych domen: morza, lądu, powietrza i przestrzeni kosmicznej. W miarę jak społeczeństwa się cyfryzują i stają się coraz bardziej podłączone do internetu, mnożą się cyberzagrożenia i rośnie podatność na nie. Unia Europejska bardzo aktywnie działa, zwłaszcza od 2017 r., na rzecz wzmocnienia cyberzdolności i ram koordynacji w drodze szeregu inicjatyw i wniosków. Parlament Europejski omówi najnowsze i planowane środki na pierwszej sesji plenarnej ...
The new European cybersecurity competence centre and network
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?
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
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 ...
ENISA i nowy unijny akt w sprawie cyberbezpieczeństwa
Komisja Europejska zaproponowała wniosek, którego celem jest zwiększenie odporności UE i usprawnienie reakcji na cyberataki przez przyznanie stałego mandatu i zwiększenie roli Agencji Unii Europejskiej ds. Bezpieczeństwa Sieci i Informacji (ENISA) będącej unijną agencją odpowiedzialną za kwestie cyberbezpieczeństwa. We wniosku przewidziano stworzenie pierwszych unijnych ram certyfikacji cyberbezpieczeństwa produktów i usług ICT, w czym ENISA będzie także odgrywać ważną rolę. W dniu 10 lipca 2018 ...
Establishing a cybersecurity competence centre and a network of national coordination centres
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 ...
Implementation and functioning of the '.eu' top level domain name
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 ...

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 ...
