(8a) The enhancement of dual use application of cybersecurity technologies for cybersecurity purposes is without prejudice to the civilian nature of this Regulation and should therefore reflect specificities of Member States in cases when cybersecurity policy is pursued by civil-military or military authorities, and ensure complementarity but not overlap to the cyber defence related funding instruments.

(14) Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, high-performance computing (HPC) and quantum computing, blockchain and concepts such as secure digital identities create at the same time new challenges for cybersecurity as well as offer solutions. Assessing and validating the robustness of existing or future ICT systems will require testing security solutions against attacks run on HPC and quantum machines. The Competence Centre, the Network and the Cybersecurity Competence Community should help advance and disseminate the latest cybersecurity solutions including dual use. At the same time the Competence Centre and the Network should be at the service of developers and operators in critical sectors such as transport, energy, health, financial, government, telecom, manufacturing, defence, and space to help them solve their cybersecurity challenges.
