Il-wiċċ tal-attakk qed ikompli jikber b’theddida ċibernetika ġdida u effetti devastanti fuq l-ekonomiji tagħna, fuq il-benesseri taċ-ċittadini tagħna, fuq il-benesseri wkoll tan-negozji tagħna. It-teknoloġiji ġodda u l-prodotti u s-servizzi diġitali qed joħolqu sfidi għall-individwi u l-gvernijiet biex jissodisfaw ir-rekwiżiti tal-era moderna u jipproteġu lilhom infushom minn forom ġodda ta’ attakki ċibernetiċi. L-iżvilupp, l-adozzjoni u l-użu ta’ prodotti u servizzi diġitali fuq skala kbira jirrikjedu livelli għoljin ta’ fiduċja mill-utenti tagħhom, proċess xieraq ta’ ċertifikazzjoni taċ-ċibersigurtà u anke standards għoljin.  B’aktar minn 22 biljun apparat madwar id-dinja marbuta mal-Internet tal-Oġġetti sal-2024, il-prodotti u s-servizzi tal-informatika għandhom jinkludu inqas vulnerabilitajiet u standards ta’ sigurtà inkorporati maċ-ċiklu tal-ħajja tagħhom.  Neħtieġu wkoll aktar kooperazzjoni biex innaqqsu r-riskju ta’ attakki ċibernetiċi u ntejbu r-reżiljenza tal-infrastruttura importanti tal-Unjoni Ewropea, infrastruttura bħall-isptarijiet tagħna, impjanti tal-enerġija u networks diġitali.  Fl-aħħar nett, għandna nuqqas ta’ esperti bil-ħiliet ċibernetiċi meħtieġa biex niġġieldu u biex nipprevjenu dawn l-attakki kemm fis-settur pubbliku u kif ukoll fis-settur privat.  Għalhekk, ninsab sodisfatt li l-Kummissjoni ħadet passi biex tindirizza dawn il-problemi sabiex inkunu nistgħu naħdmu flimkien lejn rispons taċ-ċibersigurtà aktar b’saħħtu u aktar ikkoordinat fuq livell tal-Unjoni illi jibni spazju miftuħ, spazju sigur.

Numeri impressionanti, dietro i quali si nascondono spesso attacchi non di cani sciolti, ma di hacker al soldo di Russia, Cina, Iran. Autocrazie che, attraverso questa nuova forma di guerra ibrida, mirano a ledere la sicurezza delle nostre infrastrutture, affossare le nostre aziende e destabilizzare la nostra società. Una minaccia da cui gli Stati membri non possono difendersi da soli, perché la sicurezza dell'Europa dipende dalla sicurezza dell'anello più debole della catena. Negli ultimi anni abbiamo capito questo e per questo ci siamo dotati di un quadro legislativo importante, dalla NIS all'atto europeo sulla cibersicurezza e adesso il  Ben venga quindi la proposta di un atto per la solidarietà informatica, che sembra andare nella direzione auspicata, anche attraverso la creazione di uno scudo informatico paneuropeo. C'è però un presupposto fondamentale senza il quale l'Europa non può pensare di affrontare questa sfida, ed è quello delle competenze. Dobbiamo investire in formazione, soprattutto tra i giovani, per assicurare quelle figure professionali competenti che possano far fronte alla necessità, in costante aumento, di aziende e istituzioni. Possiamo trasformare questa minaccia in una grande opportunità occupazionale e imprenditoriale. Per questo l'Accademia europea per le competenze è un elemento chiave della nostra strategia digitale e dovrà essere dotata di uno stanziamento finanziario adeguato alla portata della sfida. Fatemi concludere però con un monito. Attenzione a pensare che basti investire solo sulle competenze di alto livello. Serve anche sviluppare una cultura diffusa di cibersicurezza in tutte le fasce di popolazione, coinvolgendo scuole, università, enti locali, istituti di formazione, affinché ciascuno di noi possa dotarsi degli strumenti necessari per difendersi da questa guerra ibrida che alcuni paesi ci hanno dichiarato.

Cybersecurity as a requirement for digital products and software is becoming ever more important for our citizens. As attacks increase rapidly, vulnerabilities in US and Chinese digital goods are equally unacceptable and create a global explosion of cybercrime. Whether these vulnerabilities are intentional, as a certain Edward Snowden revealed, or a result of a ‘moving fast and breaking things’ mentality does not matter in the end for the security of European citizens.  I have already seen global software providers call for a slow and measured approach to our legislative attempts in the cyber realm, and I am afraid that the millions in lobby expenditure by these very companies will make sure that we move too slow to have a substantial result by the end of this mandate, or that it will be filled with so many exemptions that it won’t be worth the effort anymore.  We Pirates want cybersecurity by design and we want the scope of cyber—related acts to leave no soft spots in our digital single market. European companies and providers must be able to distinguish themselves for higher security standards and be able to compete with the incumbent providers on these standards. Some of the most trusted and secure systems are open source Mattermost, Linux and Signal are popular and used, without much advertising, because of their reliability and high safety standards. We must embrace this approach in the EU and move away from proprietary code and commercial secrecy that leaves plenty of room for hidden vulnerabilities.

Cyberprzestępcy skoncentrowali swoje działania w szczególności na usługach handlu elektronicznego i płatności elektronicznych, a także na systemach opieki zdrowotnej. Z kolei przestępcy z poziomu państw takich jak Rosja skupiają swoją uwagę głównie na zagrożeniach w obszarze infrastruktury krytycznej. Dlatego zasadne jest wzmocnienie cyberodporności, usprawnienie ram unijnego reagowania na incydenty dużej skali, ale ważne jest także, aby nie duplikować struktur, lecz usprawnić te, które już istnieją. Wzmocnienie cybekompetencji jest bardzo ważne, ale – powtórzę – kluczowe jest, aby nie duplikować działań, które są już realizowane, i dlatego należy się bardzo dobrze rozeznać, jak uspójnić i zapewnić współdziałanie pomiędzy sektorem cywilnym a obronnym. Tutaj kluczową rolę, szczególnie w dystrybucji funduszu na cyberbezpieczeństwo, powinno odgrywać Europejskie Centrum Kompetencji w Bukareszcie.  I na sam koniec sprawa, moim zdaniem, najważniejsza: w zarządzaniu kryzysowym w cyberbezpieczeństwie powinny zostać uszanowane i uwzględnione kompetencje państw członkowskich.

Signora Presidente, signori Commissari, il miglioramento della cibersicurezza dei prodotti digitali è un passo in avanti per proteggere gli utenti e le aziende dalle conseguenze di attacchi informatici che sono diventati sempre più frequenti e mirati.  La sicurezza non dovrebbe essere vista come un costo, ma come un investimento, visto che ogni violazione di dati ha un impatto economico che potrebbe essere evitato attraverso l'adozione di tecnologie avanzate. Vorrei però porre l'attenzione su un punto critico riguardante il nuovo regolamento.

Madam President, I would like to thank the Vice-President and the Commissioner for presenting the Cyber package proposals. As the package underlines, more efforts are needed to boost digitalisation in Europe. Digitalisation will ensure the competitiveness of our industries and help achieve our climate targets. At the same time, because of digitalisation, we are facing new kinds of challenges in our society. Cybersecurity is and must be a crucial part of our overall security. It should be highlighted that the cybersecurity level in the EU is only as strong as it weakest link. We must ensure a high level of cybersecurity in all areas in our society, including our industry and SMEs. There is currently a number of regulatory initiatives being prepared and adopted that strengthen the overall security and cybersecurity of the EU, including the Member States, EU institutions, critical infrastructure and also businesses. And this is a very positive development. But at the same time, if we had to choose one single area where we should invest more, it’s skills. And it was mentioned here, every third person who works in Europe lack basic digital skills. And at the same time we have a lack of cybersecurity experts. So we have to improve digital skills on a general level in Europe, but we also need more knowledge and expertise in the field of cybersecurity. So the Cyber package presented by the Commission today is very welcome as it speeds up both education for the digital field as well as the knowledge of cybersecurity, and also more investments and funding is needed for research and product development in the cybersecurity field.

Signora Presidente, Commissione, con la presentazione di queste nuove proposte si va nella giusta direzione: più solidarietà tra gli Stati membri sulla cibersicurezza e impegno comune sulle nuove competenze necessarie a garantirla. L'Unione europea è il più grande mercato digitale integrato del mondo democratico e, in quanto tale, obiettivo sensibile per attacchi informatici che riguardano l'insieme della nostra società, dai cittadini alle industrie, fino alle infrastrutture strategiche e militari. Un fenomeno in sensibile aumento che, con la guerra in Ucraina, assume la dimensione di una vera e propria guerra ibrida. Fronteggiare tutto questo a livello nazionale è velleitario: occorre oggi una risposta europea. È già a buon punto il lavoro di prevenzione, con l'approvazione della direttiva NIS2 sulla sicurezza delle reti e la discussione in corso sul regolamento per la cibersicurezza dei prodotti con elementi digitali, di cui sono relatrice per il gruppo dei Socialisti e Democratici. Adesso potremo diventare più forti anche sul fronte della rilevazione delle minacce e della risposta coordinata agli attacchi. Cari colleghi, si tratta di una responsabilità condivisa, in questo nuovo mondo digitale dove la sicurezza di ognuno è la sicurezza di tutti.

Madam President, cyber attacks have become an increasing threat to our societies and governments. In times of crisis, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, cyber attacks pose an even greater danger since they are used as political weapons against democracies. We must strengthen the resilience of our critical infrastructure against cyber threats, enhance cooperation between Member States and ensure the protection of our citizens. Europe is vulnerable unless we do so. But there is a critical aspect that we should never forget, and I’m calling on the Commission and the Council to be very alert and aware of it: keeping our democracies healthy along this process. Member States should never use the umbrella of cyber security and national security for building excessive rules and political control. Democracy should never be militarised. I am looking at Romania’s recent cyber security and defence legislation, which gives extensive powers to intelligence services. We risk turning private service providers of technical solutions and other private stakeholders into informants of State authorities with excessive reporting obligations. And I am concerned about this interpretation. In democracies, we need civilian oversight and accountability of the intelligence services. Cyber security means also respect for privacy, fundamental rights and the rule of law, protecting personal data, properly fighting organised crime and toxic foreign interference. Resilient societies are about that, and I would like to thank you, Commissioners, for your work and for mentioning the value-driven approach to this package. I hope that with this package we will all continue to build safe and healthy democracies. This is what Europe needs.

Madam President, dear Commissioners, tremendous cyber-security challenges have emerged in the last 30 years with the exponential growth of information and communication technologies and increasing digitalisation of European societies. The spread of the Internet of Things and increased interconnections between devices have led to multiplication of cyber-attacks and disinformation campaigns. In this context, I would like to thank Commissioner Breton for presenting the Commission’s strategy to combat cyber-attacks under the Cyber Solidarity Act. This initiative includes key measures that will allow better detection of attacks upstream, enhance information exchange and cooperation between Member States and improve the resilience of critical infrastructures such as hospitals and digital networks. One significant aspect of this initiative is the establishment of the European cyber reserve, inspired by Ukraine’s approach of partnering public institutions and private companies to ensure cyber-security. It will need enable to engage trusted private service providers in advance to support any defence effort in the face of an attack. It is essential that we keep seeing the European Union and its close allies, Ukraine in particular, as fighting similar threats, and that we share best practices. To combat the proliferation of hybrid warfare we must create a cyber-resilient Europe.

The economy, democracy and society of the EU depend, now more than ever, on secure and reliable digital tools and connectivity. Cybersecurity is therefore essential to create a digital, green and resilient Europe. Improving cybersecurity is therefore of paramount importance for people to trust, use and benefit from innovations, connectivity and automation, as well as to safeguard fundamental rights and freedoms, including rights to privacy and data protection. I welcome the announcement of the Cyber Solidarity Act. The next step after the revision of the NIS Directive and the Cyber Resilience Act, the proposed cybersecurity emergency reserve would follow Ukraine’s approach to engage in advance certified and trusted private service providers to intervene at the application of any Member State requesting solidarity in the face of an attack. The goal is to strengthen Europe’s collective resilience against cyberthreats and ensure that all citizens and businesses can fully benefit from secure and reliable digital services and tools.

Señora presidenta, señor vicepresidente Schinas, comisario Breton, ante la guerra de agresión de Putin contra Ucrania, la Unión Europea ha respondido unida en el plano humanitario, en la defensa de la legalidad internacional evitando la impunidad de los crímenes de guerra, y también en la defensa de la ciberseguridad, es decir, en la defensa de nuestra seguridad y de nuestras infraestructuras críticas. Y por eso saludamos esta iniciativa de la Comisión, este llamado paquete cibernético consistente en una Ley de Cibersolidaridad, una Ley de Ciberseguridad de la UE y el establecimiento de la Academia de Cibercapacidades de la Unión Europea, que no es, como su nombre podría indicar, una iniciativa puramente escolar, sino que está financiada por el programa Europa Digital y va dirigida exactamente a garantizar la formación, la certificación y la comunicación necesarias para los trabajadores especializados en el sector de la ciberdefensa.  Bien, pero además me permito subrayar la importancia de que todo esto se haga de acuerdo con el respeto debido a los derechos fundamentales garantizados por la Carta de Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea y, particularmente, por la normativa europea de protección de datos, que se precia de ser la más estricta del mundo. Si nos preocupamos de que esto sea así en la Agenda Digital, hagámoslo también en la Agenda de la ciberseguridad europea.

Madam President, dear Commissioners, dear colleagues, this debate about the Cyber package is another example of how important issues are hijacked by the European Commission and used to propose initiatives that are taking away more and more decisions from the national States and rights from the people under the alleged argument that it is done for their safety and security. Protecting our cybersecurity infrastructures is an important objective that the States must fulfil, not the European bureaucracy, which is not accountable to anybody. The European Union cannot micromanage everything or come up with one-size-fits-all regulations because it will actually undermine, in this case, both the cybersecurity and the competitiveness of the European Single Market. All these proposals are actually building the framework to create in the EU a digital tyranny and the implementation of a social credit system similar to the one in China. I am asking the Commissioners, how exactly are you going to be able to protect all the cell phones or computers in the EU without monitoring all of them? Protecting our cyberinfrastructure is very important, but we need to make sure that we are not transforming the European Union into a China-like controlled superstate, but still keep it as an area of freedom as it was intended.

Signora Presidente, signori Commissari, la sicurezza e la protezione dei consumatori e dei loro dati sono per noi elementi imprescindibili dai compromessi. Negli ultimi anni le minacce ai componenti hardware e software dei prodotti e gli attacchi informatici a danno delle aziende, delle pubbliche amministrazioni e dei cittadini europei sono notevolmente aumentati, non solo da un punto di vista quantitativo, ma anche in termini di impatto e complessità. La digitalizzazione è entrata nella vita quotidiana di tutti noi, facilitando molte attività, non per questo non deve essere regolamentata, sempre a tutela del consumatore. Questo pacchetto non deve essere un limite alla ricerca e allo sviluppo tecnologico, e non lo sarà, non è questo l'obiettivo che si pone. Sono necessarie però delle norme uguali per tutti gli Stati membri, in modo tale da avere un sistema armonizzato. La sicurezza dei prodotti digitali è direttamente collegata alla sicurezza dei consumatori, che mettiamo sempre al centro delle nostre scelte. Lo abbiamo fatto per l'etichettatura dei prodotti, lo facciamo quando ci battiamo contro la carne sintetica e lo facciamo anche quando si tratta di dati sensibili e del mondo digitale, partendo anche dalla privacy di ognuno di noi.

Paní předsedající, dovolte mi, abych se také vyjádřil k danému tématu. Velmi pozorně jsem poslouchal celou rozpravu a jsem velmi rád, že většina z nás jednoznačně podpořila úsilí komisařů připravit tento balíček legislativy, který posílí kybernetickou odolnost a kybernetickou bezpečnost zemí Evropské unie.  Všichni vnímáme kybernetické nebezpečí jako jedno z klíčových nebezpečí na počátku dvacátého prvního století. Není možné, aby jednotlivé státy bojovaly samostatně s tímto nebezpečím. Pouze společně v rámci Evropské unie jsme schopni dosáhnout efektivních nástrojů. A ten návrh, který je zde dnes debatován, podle mého názoru přináší pozitivní zprávu, že jsme schopni společně postupovat. Je tam celá řada pozitivních věcí, které v té debatě byly debatovány. Nejde pouze o legislativu jako takovou, ale mně se velmi líbí ta část návrhu, která se týká akademie. Akademie, která bude vychovávat odborníky, kteří v případě kybernetických útoků budou schopni reagovat.  To jsou všechno strašně důležité věci. Mít kvalitní legislativu, komunikovat a spolupracovat na úrovni členských států a hlavně mít odborníky, kteří budou schopni na takový útok reagovat. Je to, podle mého názoru, nutné a já doufám, že se nám podaří celou legislativu  dále projednat, dokončit a že společný postup bude to, jak zvládneme kybernetické útoky.
