The European Commission seeks stakeholders' views on the areas of work
of the future cybersecurity public-private partnership as well as on
potential additional policy measures that could stimulate the European
cybersecurity industry.
On 6 May 2015, the European Commission adopted the Digital Single Market (DSM) Strategy, which provides for establishing a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) on cybersecurity in the area of technologies and solutions for online network security in the course of 2016.
The Commission is now consulting stakeholders on the areas of work of the future cybersecurity contractual public-private partnership. The Commission is also calling for contributions on potential additional policy measures that could stimulate the European cybersecurity industry.
With respect to cybersecurity standardisation, this consultation complements the overall public consultation on the development of the Priority ICT Standards Plan: „Standards in the Digital Single Market: setting priorities and ensuring delivery“, in which cybersecurity is one of the areas covered.
Stakeholders invited to share their comments in the current discussion are:
- Businesses (providers and users of cybersecurity products and services);
- Industrial associations
- Civil society organisations
- Public authorities
- Research and academia
- Citizens
The Commission will use their feedback from the consultation to establish the PPP in the course of 2016.
The duration of the discussion is from 18 December 2015 until 11 March 2016. Comments are gathered through online questionnaire available in English, French, and German.
