Description
Cybercrime affects over 1 million people worldwide a day, and cyber attacks on public institutions and businesses are increasing. This book interrogates the European Union's evolving cybersecurity policies and strategy and argues that while progress is being made, much remains to be done to ensure a secure and resilient cyberspace in the future.
Reviews / Votes
"The book is well written and clear in its content and purposes. It is well suited for both academics and practitioners, including political and military personnel, presenting a clear overview of the development of the EU's cybersecurity framework. . it makes a useful contribution to the academic debate on the global role of the EU as a security actor, as well as on the idea of a 'civilian response' to cyber threats."
