Phish and Chips: Lunchtime lectures on Cybersecurity #5

Abstract:

In this guest lecture, attendees will get an overview of the different recent European cybersecurity laws that have been initiated and partially implemented by the European Commission. From the EU Agency of Cybersecurity, you will learn all there is to know on Cyber law. You will get insight into the role the EU Agency for Cybersecurity plays in this Cyber law making and implementing area. You will explore how the different laws interact with each other and what their impact on the EU market is/will be. Moreover, how does the use of Artificial Intelligence and the AI Act influence these Cyber laws? AI can enhance cybersecurity and likewise it can have another side of the coin and advance the complexity and sophisticate cyberattacks, generating large scale, systemic cyber threats that are hard to predict, defend and recover from.

The EU landscape of Cyberlaw is and continues to be a central point of geopolitical attention. Cybersecurity attacks and (digital) military attacks can no longer be clearly distinguished and seem to intertwine or integrate, leading to new insights and discussion on changed dimensions in Cyber-collaboration with other institutions like NATO, the EU Defense Agency, Europol, the UN and OECD that all have cyber programs.
