Defending The EU Against Cyber Operations Mechanisms, Challenges And Cooperation With NATO

The sophistication and the potential pervasiveness of their cyber threats have attracted the attention of various States and international organisations, including the European Union (EU) and NATO, prompting further cooperation and the provision of effective legal instruments for the protection of cyberspace and its users.

The Development of the EU Cyber Security Strategy and its Importance

Over the last few years, many EU documents on cybersecurity have been published (Falessi, 2012, 2-6). The European Security Strategy included cyber threats as a new risk to European security (Klimburg, ed. 2011, 5-11). The EU is active in two cybersecurity areas. The first area consists of the necessary measures applied to combat cyberattacks, including cybercrimes. The second area consists of applying the necessary measures to support critical infrastructure protection and network security. The Common Foreign and Security Policy of cyber issues is underdeveloped, mainly due to the difficulties in approaching the subject. According to a European Parliament Study, cyber issues are perceived to be a matter often left to member states (MS).
