Evaluatie en aanbevelingen voor het EU-cybersanctieregime: een focus op attributie binnen het Gemeenschappelijk Buitenlands en Veiligheidsbeleid

Shereen's elevator pitch
How can Europe better defend itself against the growing threat of cyberattacks? With increasing attacks from state and non-state actors targeting critical infrastructure, the European Union has implemented the EU Cyber Sanctions Regime. Designed to deter and respond to malicious cyber activities, the regime faces critical hurdles in attributing attacks to specific actors; a process complicated by fragmented intelligence, political roadblocks, and ambiguous legal standards. My research delves into these challenges, exploring how they undermine the regime’s effectiveness and proposing targeted improvements to enhance intelligence sharing, streamline decision-making, and clarify legal definitions. Strengthening this regime is not just about protecting Europe today, it is about shaping a safer digital future for generations to come.
