Today, the European Commission announced a proposal<\/a> for the EU Cyber Solidarity Act, a \u20ac1.1 billion ($1.2 billion) plan that aims to strengthen cybersecurity<\/a> capabilities across EU member states, creating a \u201cEuropean cybersecurity shield.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the announcement press release, the commission explained that \u201c[t]he Cyber Solidarity Act establishes EU capabilities to make Europe more resilient and reactive in front of cyber threats.\u201d One of these capabilities is the introduction of national and cross-border security operation centers (SOCs) across the continent to help member states detect and respond to cyberattacks<\/a> and share warnings about incidents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The proposal comes as the geopolitical conflict surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war<\/a> continues to unfold, with cyber threats facing EU nations\u2019 private and public sectors. The announcement highlights that addressing cyber threats is becoming an international security concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday marks the proposal of a European cyber shield. To effectively detect, respond, and recover from large-scale cybersecurity threats, it is imperative that we invest substantially and urgently in cybersecurity capabilities. The Cyber Solidarity Act is a critical milestone in our journey towards achieving this objective,\u201d said Thierry Breton, commissioner for internal market, in the official release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However some security experts are eager for the EU to go a step further and set a standard for defining cyber risks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cyber Solidarity Act is a welcome development in the ongoing effort to strengthen cybersecurity across the European Union. However, we urge policymakers to consider the inclusion of cyber-risk ratings as a designated service in the list of trusted cybersecurity providers certified by an EU label,\u201d said Dan Morgan, senior government affairs director, Europe and APAC at Security <\/a>Scorecard<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While it remains to be seen whether the European Parliament and Council will support the proposed regulation going forward, the plan highlights that cyber-resilience is a key objective not just for the private sector, but also for international regulators.<\/p>\n
