Recital 22
(22) Cybersecurity is a challenge for the whole Union that cannot continue to be addressed only with fragmented national initiatives. Europe's cybersecurity capacity should be reinforced to endow Europe with the necessary capacities to protect its citizens and, its strategic networks (transport, energy, telecommunications) and its businesses from cyber threats. In addition consumers should be protected when using connected products that can be hacked and compromise their safety. This should be achieved together with Member States and private sector by developing, and ensuring coordination between, projects reinforcing Europe's capacities in cybersecurity and ensuring the wide deployment of the latest cybersecurity solutions across the economy, as well as by aggregating the competences in this field to ensure critical mass and excellence.

Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 28
(28) The advanced digital technologies supported by this Programme, such as high performance computing, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence are now sufficiently mature to move beyond the research arena and be deployed, implemented and scaled- up at Union level. Just as the deployment of these technologies requires a Union response so does the skills dimension. Training opportunities in advanced digital skills need to be scaled up, increased and made accessible throughout the EU, in particular for employees in the sectors that will be most affected by digital innovations. Failing this could impede the smooth deployment of advanced digital technologies and hamper the overall competitiveness of the Union's economy. The actions supported by this programme are complementary to those supported by the ESF, ERDF, CEF and Horizon Europe programmes.
