of 20 May 2021
establishing the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 173(3) and the first paragraph of Article 188 thereof,

The majority of the population of the Union is connected to the internet. The daily lives of people and economies are becoming increasingly dependent on digital technologies. Citizens and businesses are becoming increasingly exposed to serious cybersecurity incidents and many businesses in the Union experience at least one cybersecurity incident every year. This highlights the need for resilience, for enhancing technological and industrial capabilities and for the use of high cybersecurity standards and holistic cybersecurity solutions which involve people, products, processes and technology in the Union, as well as the need for Union leadership in the areas of cybersecurity and digital autonomy. Cybersecurity can also be improved by raising the awareness of cybersecurity threats and by developing competencies, capacities and capabilities throughout the Union, while thoroughly taking into account societal and ethical implications and concerns. |
