Cybersecurity@CEPS SUMMIT 2024

New wine in new bottles: what’s next for Europe’s Cybersecurity Agenda?

Ursula von der Leyen, in the Political Guidelines of the new Commission, stated that ‘[o]ur focus must now be on implementing what we have agreed [over the last five years], working closely with all stakeholders and focusing on our big challenges.’ In particular, when it comes to Cybersecurity, she mentioned ‘the need to focus on further strengthening our cyber defence capabilities, coordinating national cyber efforts and securing our critical infrastructures – notably by developing a trusted European cyber-defence industry.’

Starting in 2016 with the NIS Directive, through to the Cybersecurity Act in 2019, there has been a wealth of legislative and non-legislative cyber initiatives put forward by the EU, the pinnacle being the proposed Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) that represents the first comprehensive regulation for products with digital elements in the world.

In this year’s edition of the Cybersecurity@CEPS Summit we will explore the next steps for Europe’s Cybersecurity Agenda – will it be a case of new wine in new bottles? The following questions will guide our discussion:

  • What are the challenges for moving from this wealth of policy initiatives put forward by the previous Commission to action and policy implementation?
  • Is the structure of the new Commission tailored to manage cybersecurity effectively?
  • Should now the focus shift to look at the levels of coherence and consistency among the different legislations, to compliance measures and to enforcement?
  • How the rapidly evolving threats landscape and the use of new technologies such as AI and Quantum Technologies are changing the approach to build cyber resilience?
  • How to enhance the interplay between cybersecurity & defence?
  • How the current EU cyber regulatory acquis could be leveraged to promote international standards and regulatory cooperation with other countries?
  • Does the EU need a renewed effort to create a new transatlantic digital alliance in cybersecurity?
