CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY BELGIUM 2.0 – 2021-2025
The General Data Protection Regulation, and “Privacy” in general, are not
part of cybersecurity as such, but they are obviously a big issue in terms
of the CCB’s mission to detect incidents and threats. Good cooperation
with the Belgian Data Protection Authority is therefore necessary. Similarly, while fighting online disinformation campaigns is not actually a part
of cybersecurity, it is connected to it. Cooperation with the competent
intelligence and security services is also indispensable in this context.

Cybersecurity is not just the responsibility of government. It is a collaborative
effort to which all stakeholders involved can contribute. Improvements in
overall safety will come through everyone’s efforts.
i. Population
Citizens are primarily responsible for protecting their own property. This
includes smartphones, laptops, tablets, but also the applications on them
(such as banking applications) and therefore the data they contain. Protecting their own devices and applications and using them appropriately
makes it more difficult for threat actors to launch cyberattacks. With support
from the government and the media, such as Safeonweb.be and https://
risk-info.be/en, the population can be/become aware of the main cyber
threats and feel involved in securing the cyber environment.
