Abstract

This book presents an innovative approach to cybersecurity issues, aiming not only to analyse the legal landscape of the European Union and its Member States, but to do it in an interdisciplinary way. Its interdisciplinary style is based on the need to understand cybersecurity demands on wider terms, approaching not only traditional matters but also emerging topics. Cybersecurity cannot be solely equated in the light of cybercrime and/or cyber defence; it also has to be thought through the lens of specific approaches, related to different legal fields, without forgetting ethical demands and fundamental rights protection, particularly, personal data protection. Only by doing so is it possible to understand its importance and role in the exercise of public power, the essential role it can play in fundamental values of Member States and of the European Union (such us the rule of law) and in providing trust, transparency and effectiveness to market relations and public administration interactions.
