To increase resilience and performance, a fact-based cybersecurity and competition and procurement policy is needed. Competencies in cybersecurity should be bundled and the European digital single market harmonized. Kaspersky also advocates the formation of a digital ministry at the federal level (Germany), whereby the topic of cybersecurity should be treated with a high degree of relevance here. In this way, the further digitization of the state, its administration, as well as the economy and society, can be advanced quickly, securely, trust-based and effectively.<\/p>\n

High damage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The economic damage caused by cyberattacks is enormous: according to a study by the European Commission, the financial damage from 2015 to 2020 has risen from 2.5 trillion to 5.5 trillion worldwide. In Germany alone, the damage caused is estimated at more than 100 billion euros annually.<\/p>\n

Under the leadership of Jochen Michels, Head of Public Affairs Europe, Kaspersky and the Global Research & Analysis Team (GReAT) have therefore developed ten impulses for cyber security policy for a secure and transparent digital future.<\/p>\n

Cyber security policy: concrete demands<\/strong><\/h3>\n

More security for Germany and Europe, more security for everyone. Kaspersky welcomes the further development of the cybersecurity strategy from 2016, as the advance of digitalization and the ambitious plans for this for the next legislative period cannot be implemented without expanding cybersecurity. Specifically, Kaspersky demands:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Counteracting the shortage of skilled workers<\/li>\n
  2. Raising awareness and empowering society<\/li>\n
  3. Establish security-by-design as a basic principle<\/li>\n
  4. Significantly improve cybersecurity, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises<\/li>\n
  5. Making the digitization of public administration secure and trustworthy<\/li>\n
  6. Shaping cybersecurity and competition and procurement policy on a fact-based basis<\/li>\n
  7. Pooling competences in cybersecurity and harmonising the European digital single market<\/li>\n
  8. Consider cybersecurity when setting up a digital ministry<\/li>\n
  9. Developing the cyber security strategy sustainably<\/li>\n
  10. Take measures against stalkerware<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"As a global cybersecurity company, we want to support the digital transformation in the long term. Our experience shows that appropriate cybersecurity is a prerequisite and a success factor for digitalization. Therefore, cybersecurity must be placed high on the political agenda. We see the ten impulses as suggestions and contributions to the discussion in order to shape digitalization in Germany and Europe successfully, sustainably, securely and based on trust,\" says Jochen Michels, Head of Public Affairs, Europe at Kaspersky.<\/p>\n
