EU-South Korea Cooperation on Cybersecurity, Data Protection and Emerging Technologies

Authors : George Christou, Ji Soo Lee

Published in: Cybersecurity Policy in the EU and South Korea from Consultation to Action

Publisher: Springer International Publishing

Abstract

The European Union (EU) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) are considered normatively like-minded in the cyber and digital sphere. They face shared threats, common concerns and common interests relating to cybersecurity, data protection and emerging technologies and work bilaterally and multilaterally to achieve a resilient, stable and secure global cyber ecosystem. This chapter interrogates how cooperation and collaboration have evolved between the EU and South Korea to address shared threats. It is argued that whilst there is a high degree of convergence across the issue areas explored, divergence still exists and cooperation can be significantly improved beyond dialogue, information sharing and trust-building.

On cybercrime, the main piece of legislation was the 2013 Directive on Attacks against Information Systems, which member states had to transpose into domestic law by 2015. The Directive (EU) 2016/1148 was introduced to further bolster and ensure enhanced the security of network and information systems within the European Union.

It is now closely aligned with the proposal for the Critical Entities Resilience Directive which enhances the NIS 2 Directive by imposing new security requirements on to companies that provide essential services as well as sector-specific Regulations such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) for the financial sector.
