The ‘Cyber Blueprint’ defines roles and responsibilities, detailing the key actors and mechanisms involved at all stages of a crisis. It enhances information sharing and response coordination at political and technical levels throughout a crisis.
Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, said:
“I welcome today’s adoption of the Cyber Blueprint. In crisis situations, there is no room for improvisation, especially in today’s rapidly evolving and uncertain geopolitical environment. It is a key component of our Union Preparedness Strategy. It serves as a practical tool for Member States and EU bodies to work together to prepare for and respond to a cyber crisis that could affect our critical infrastructure and public security.”
The Cyber Blueprint builds on frameworks such as the Integrated Political Crisis Response and the EU Cyber Diplomacy Toolbox, while aligning with recent initiatives like the Critical Infrastructure Blueprint and the network code on cybersecurity for the EU electricity sector.
