EU: Cybersecurity Policy Must Be About Protection, Not Protectionism
Global Security Mag
With the European Commission’s consultation on the Cybersecurity Act (CSA) closing tomorrow, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) is calling on EU policymakers to uphold the CSA’s core mission: strengthening Europe’s cybersecurity through technical excellence, cooperation, and trust.
In its official submission, BSA warns that efforts to inject digital sovereignty criteria into technical certification schemes risk backfiring: raising costs, reducing choice, and undermining Europe’s digital resilience.
“Good cybersecurity doesn’t come from where a company is headquartered, it comes from how well its systems are built and maintained,” said Hadrien Valembois, BSA’s Director of Policy for EMEA. “Europe’s focus should be on robust, risk-based standards, not artificial barriers that exclude trusted partners.”
