The EU's Cyber Security Strategy

Abstract

This chapter aims to discuss the EU's cyber security strategy and how its policy is capable of restricting cybercrime in Europe. The study explains the role of EU Member States in dealing with cybercrime in this region. This research draws on qualitative comparative analysis to examine various EU initiatives to tackle cybercrime issues in Europe. Furthermore, this chapter discusses the core literature of primary and secondary resources through an empirical approach. Since globalisation reached its highest level across the world, the question of cyber security has emerged as a key area of multiple cooperation between the global actors. Cybercrime is now a complex issue among the global actors to restrict its expansion. The EU also started cooperation with Asian, American, and African countries on cybercrime issues. Finally, this chapter suggests that cybercrime is the central area of cooperation between the global actors to restrict it which is dangerous for humanity.
