SBS has published its position paper on the European Commission’s proposal for the creation of a European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres. The Commission’s initiative should help to create an inter-connected, Europe-wide cybersecurity industrial and research ecosystem, facilitating a stimulating environment for digital SMEs. SBS expects this to be done by building on the existing standardisation ecosystem, aiming to create the best conditions for European cyber SME champions to compete on global cybersecurity markets.
The SBS position paper, which was led by the European DIGITAL SME Alliance, provides an overview of standardisation-related measures that, if adopted and well implemented, would contribute to the effective functioning of the new European cybersecurity ecosystem.
