Cybersecurity in Romania

Abstract

In the last decades, Romania has experienced a rapid evolution of communications and cyber technologies, which brings a more interconnected society, and the migration of public services and private business into the cyberspace. Along the development process of the cyber technology, Romania must take measures to ensure security in cyberspace, yet it still has long way to reach a high level of security. The legal framework in cybersecurity is unclear and insufficient, education and research are at low levels, and there are no clear responsibilities for developing a comprehensive cybersecurity system. All of this creates a low level of cybersecurity, with the low capability to react to medium or high-level cyber-attacks. There are real threats in cyber space either from state actors like Russia or non-state actors, who can disrupt Romanian Public institutions or deny access of citizens to essential services.
