THE PRESIDENT OF THE GOVERNMENT But it also makes us more vulnerable to hostile actions against—and coming from—said new infrastructures. Threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex, and cyberspace is a weakly regulated area with no clear borders or jurisdictional demarcations, where the traceability of criminal actions, and the identification of state or non-state perpetrators, is difficult. The challenge is enormous and multidisciplinary. Our professionals in the diverse areas involved in cybersecurity have well-deserved prestige and will be able to rise to the challenge. But cybersecurity requires commitment from us all. It is our responsibility, at the public administrations, to lead this commitment and to offer a framework of certainty to companies and citizens, who must also share this commitment. Once again, this is not only to avert the dangers and threats, but to make the most of the many opportunities to the benefit of all. Cybersecurity protects assets, but it also protects essential values for a free society such as ours. We are not going to relinquish these principles in this era of global transformation. The technical challenges involved in cybersecurity are varied and complex, but something else is at stake. Something that refers to moral and cultural values related to our way of seeing and understanding the world, to what best defines us. Our freedom, well-being and democracy ultimately depend upon our success in designing an effective Cybersecurity Strategy. I am convinced that, with this document, we have taken a key step towards successfully addressing uncertain, but at the same time fascinating, years.
