| Resumo: | Despite an immense effort, the EU is not mature enough to face modern
cybersecurity challenges. Inspired by Erasmus’s Praise of Folly, the author, a
veteran of the EU cyber ecosystem, comments the Union’s current path.
The Laus, praises the EU’s diligence in building a regulatory fortress (NIS2,
DORA, CRA) and institutions (ENISA, ECCC).
However, a critique (Pars Destruens) highlights deep paradoxes. This regulatory
approach mistakes procedural compliance for operational security: a static, “tick-the-box” mentality. Furthermore, EU-level bodies act merely as coordinators for
fragmented national “stovepipes” rather than creating a unified defence.
The proposal (Pars Construens) calls for a paradigm shift away from static
security. “Resilience by Design” is advocated as a philosophy that accepts
breaches will occur and focuses on maintaining critical functions during an
attack. This requires a new goal of holistic “Digital Resilience” and a private-led,
public-supported industrial policy. |
