Hungary regards the Central and Eastern European region with special attention, where cybersecurity can be further improved within the framework of regional cooperations. 8. To address present and future challenges, Hungary lays down the requirement that the Hungarian cyberspace shall provide a secure and reliable environment: a) for individuals and communities to ensure social development and integration through communication based on liberty, freedom from fear, and guaranteeing the protection of personal data, b) for the business sector to develop efficient and innovative business solutions, c) for future generations to ensure value-based learning and unharmed collection of experiences resulting in a sound mental development, d) for electronic public administration, to promote innovative and cutting-edge development of public services. 9.
