Europe wants to set up a “shield” against cyber attacks -

After presenting its new proposals for platform regulation, the European Commission unveiled its new cybersecurity strategy.
Its objective is to propose an overhaul of the regulatory framework in force in Europe, but above all to set up a network of interconnected operational centers in order to protect Europe from cyber attacks.
Objectives which could materialize by the creation of a European cyber shield which would be based on artificial intelligence to "detect weak signs sufficiently early, heralding malicious intentions".
“It is urgent for Europe to reinforce its technological, operational and political means enabling it to face a large-scale cyberattack, which would simultaneously affect several countries of the Union.
Our objectives are clear: to detect, defend, dissuade ”, we can read in the forum signed by Thierry Breton and Margaritis Schinas, European Commissioners, in Ouest France.
Towards a cybersecurity union
This is why the solution of a common cyber shield for the EU was mentioned.
The latter would take the form of "a network of security operations centers (...) capable of detecting the signs of a cyberattack early enough and enabling proactive action, before damage is done".
By setting up a “joint cyber unit”, cooperation and exchange of intelligence on cyber issues would be facilitated and promoted between the different Member States.
This unit could be put in place at the start of 2021.
A CyClone network will also be set up.
It is a network of European cybersecurity agencies for the preparation and management of cybercrises by the Member States of the European Union.
