Awareness is not enough, says EU Commissioner Kroes days before introducing EU Cybersecurity Strategy | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

Last year, the World Economic Forum was a wake-up call for many of us:

The WEF affirmed that in the next 10 years there is a 10% likelihood of a major Critical Information Infrastructure breakdown with possible economic damages of over $250 billion. Incidents and attacks are on the rise.

The big message was that cybersecurity is a matter that cannot be left to the technical people. It is a matter for board levels.


After a series of consultations, I have become convinced that the matter of cybersecurity is too important to be left to the goodwill of companies.
