In an increasingly digital world, cyber threats are a priority for the European Institutions. Together, they build a framework for governance in order to respond as best as possible to the various cyber threats and to strengthen the common cybersecurity area of all the member states of the EU. With the implementation of initiatives such as the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity or the EU Cybersecurity Act, the European institutions prevent and restrain the number of digital attacks. | ![]() |
