Abstract:
Networks, together with computer systems and services, have a vital role to play in society. Their reliability and security are essential for economic and social activities and, in particular, for the functioning of the internal market. The extent, frequency and impact of security incidents are increasing and are a serious threat to the functioning of networks and information systems. Those systems may also become a target for deliberate harmful actions aimed at affecting or interrupting the operation of systems. Such incidents can hamper the conduct of economic activities, generate substantial financial losses, undermine users' confidence and cause major damage to the Union's economy. Networks and information systems and, in particular, the Internet play an essential role in facilitating the cross-border circulation of products, services and people. Due to their transnational nature, a major disruption of these systems, whether intentional or unintentional, and wherever they happen, can affect each individual Member State and the Union as a whole. Therefore, the security of networks and information systems is essential for the smooth functioning of the internal market.
