About

Digital disruption/piracy , notably caused by malicious cyber activities, not only threaten our economies but also our way of living , our freedoms of movement and values, and even try to undermine the cohesion and functioning of our democracy in the world .

 

Despite of the economic, political or personal motivations behind the cyber threats, securing our future wellbeing, freedoms, democratic governance, and prosperity depend on improving our capacity to shield our IT infrastructure from malicious attacks and to address digital security by keeping a check . The digital transformation requires improving cybersecurity substantially, so as to ensure the protection of the increasing number of connected devices and the safe operation of network and information systems, including the ones used in power grids, drinking water supply and distribution services, vehicles and transport systems, hospitals and the overall health system, finances, public institutions, factories, and homes. Digital world must build resilience to cyber-attacks and create effective cyber deterrence, at every level within Cyber Domains ,  while making sure that data protection and freedom of citizens are strengthened, through GDPR and other data protection laws . These efforts should include considerations for particularly vulnerable organisations, companies,  NGOs  and citizens.
