Besides becoming more complex, destructive, and coercive, military cyber threats are now ubiquitous, and it is difficult to imagine a future conflict that would not have a cyber dimension.
This book presents the proceedings of CYDEF2018, a collaborative workshop between NATO and Japan, held in Tokyo, Japan, from 3 – 6 April 2018 under the umbrella of the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme. It is divided into 3 sections: policy and diplomacy; operations and technology; and training and education, and covers subjects ranging from dealing with an evolving cyber threat picture to maintaining a skilled cyber workforce.
The book serves as a unique reference for some of the most pressing challenges related to the implementation of effective cyber defense policy at a technical and operational level, and will be of interest to all those working in the field of cybersecurity.

The Commission “‘Competition Law 4.0’” was set up by the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy with the task to draw up recommendations for the further development of EU competition law in the light of the digital economy. The final report with 22 recommendations was handed over in September 2019.
The commission finds that the practical and actual power of consumers to dispose of their own data must be improved, clear rules of conduct for dominant platforms must be introduced, legal certainty for cooperation in the digital sector must be enhanced, and the institutional linkage between competition law and other digital regulation must be strengthened.

cybersecurity, digital sovereignty
Cybersicherheit ist für Europa zu einer Schlüsselfrage der globalen digitalen Transformation geworden. Mit dem Cybersecurity Act, also der Cybersicherheitsverordnung, hat die EU einen rechtlichen Rahmen mit dem Anspruch globaler Ausstrahlung vorgelegt. Eingebettet in eine Politik, die digitale Souveränität mit strategischer Verflechtung kombiniert, kann die Verordnung das Tor zu einem dritten Weg Europas im Cyberraum sein, der zwischen dem US-amerikanischen Modell der Marktfreiheit und dem chinesischen Modell des autori- tären Staatskapitalismus verläuft. Der Cybersecurity Act wird verbindlicher Handlungsrahmen und Rückenwind für die bundesdeutsche Cybersicherheitspolitik sein.

How can the public sector overcome its ‘digital weakness'

Siliconrepublic.com
Martin Schallbruch (2019)
Keyword(s)
Digital strategy, government, digital law, digital infrastrucure
Today’s digital strategy of governments worldwide is failing. The result is a weakening of government functions in the digital sphere – with risks for democracy and freedom. Digital innovation on a society-wide scale will only be effective if governments adopt stronger digital strategies. Key issues are a principle-oriented, less-specific digital regulation, bigger government’s spendings for digital infrastructures, a greater autonomy of state and local governments, and the establishment of a ‚Ministry for Digital Affairs“.

The public sector's weak digital strategy is threatening society: How can this be changed?

Digital strategy, government reform, digital law, digital infrastrucure
Digital innovation can be extremely beneficial to citizens. However, current digital strategies of governments are not strong enough to ensure that digital innovation is not a threat to society – but, only a benefit. Digital innovation will only be effective if governments adopt strong digital strategies. Key issues are a less-specific digital regulation, a greater government’s investment in digital infrastructures, a higher flexibility for local governments, and a strengthening of digital policy leadership within governments.
