EU to ‘step up’ on cyber security as dependence on US laid bare

EU to ‘step up’ on cyber security as dependence on US laid bare
SHARE

The European Union is taking steps to enhance its involvement in addressing cyber security challenges, following a funding shortfall in April that exposed Europe’s reliance on US cyber infrastructure. Juhan Lepassaar, executive director of Enisa, the EU’s cyber security agency, emphasized the need for the EU to take a more proactive role in identifying and mitigating potential cyber threats.

Lepassaar highlighted the establishment of a new framework by the EU to alert European businesses and governments about vulnerabilities. This move comes in response to concerns raised by cyber experts when US government funding for a crucial security organization was temporarily at risk. The incident underscored Europe’s dependence on US digital infrastructure and the importance of strengthening global online security measures.

While the US cyber agency CISA, which manages the program, attributed the funding issue to an administrative error, the EU has recognized the necessity of bolstering its own cyber security measures. The EU recently launched a “European vulnerability database” to provide guidance and patches for potential threats, particularly tailored to European companies.

Lepassaar emphasized the increase in state-sponsored cyber attacks, with actors targeting critical infrastructure and public administration. He cited a recent cyber campaign by China against the Czech government as an example of the growing threat landscape. Ransomware attacks and politically motivated hacktivist activities were also identified as significant concerns.

In response to these challenges, the EU implemented new cyber resilience regulations last year, mandating companies to integrate stronger security measures into products with digital components. The European Commission is exploring revisions to the Cybersecurity Act to potentially expand Enisa’s role in supporting market players in complying with the new regulations.

Overall, the EU’s efforts to enhance its cyber security capabilities reflect a proactive approach to safeguarding against evolving cyber threats. By establishing its own vulnerability database and strengthening collaboration with key stakeholders, the EU aims to bolster its cyber resilience and contribute to a more robust global security framework.
