Strengthening Europe’s cybersecurity framework through simplification

The review of the Cybersecurity Act (CSA 2.0) is an opportunity to build a more coherent, outcome-oriented EU cybersecurity framework. While the proposal recognises fragmentation across the Single Market, further simplification is needed to reduce overlaps and support effective compliance.
