Cybersecurity has been mentioned especially in relation to one of six headline ambitions of President von der Leyen's Political Guidelines: 'A Europe fit for the digital age'.
Among others, the Commission will propose a European Cyber Resilience Act to establish common cybersecurity standards, and begin building an EU space-based global secure communications system to provide additional EU-wide broadband connectivity and secure independent communications to Member States.
Moreover, as the energy sector will be the biggest contributor in meeting the EU’s climate target of reducing emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030, the Commission will propose an action plan for an accelerated digital transformation of the sector, taking into account the need for resilient and cyber-secure energy.
Cybersecurity is also crutial if it comes to 'Promoting our European way of life'. The continued work on cybersecurity remains a crucial building block of the Security Union.
