A New Cybersecurity Strategy for Europe

October marks European Cybersecurity Month, an annual campaign aimed at raising awareness of cyber risks among citizens and businesses, and promoting best practices in cybersecurity. This year's campaign was launched in Estonia, a country known for its high level of digital savviness. The EU has announced several initiatives to enhance its cybersecurity capacity and response to cyber attacks, while laying the foundations for increased cyber awareness and better cyber hygiene overall. These proposals range from educational initiatives to investment in research projects and public-private partnerships where technology in cybersecurity and industrial capabilities are developed. Cybersecurity is a common societal challenge that should involve multiple layers of stakeholders, including industry, government, and individuals.
