Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am very glad to participate in this conference on cyber security, here in Seoul.

Cybersecurity has become a global emergency. Every 11 seconds, an organisation around the globe is hit by a ransomware attack. In the first half of 2022, researchers recorded 2.8 billion malware attacks in the world. This is an 11 percent increase from the year before. Hospitals, ministries, universities, large infrastructures have been under attack in the EU and elsewhere.

Cyberthreats has no borders. And in a globalised and interconnected world, cyber malign attacks can spread easily. Cooperation is therefore the only way to increase our collective resilience.

That is why I am very happy to be here in Korea, to discuss with the government and with all the stakeholders, including the industry, on how we can enhance our cyber cooperation from a technological, industrial, operational and geopolitical point of view.

This is the sense of the initial step we took in the context of our EU/Republic of Korea digital partnership, but I believe we should now build a more ambitious partnership on cyber. I will come back on this.

Korea has a strong experience in responding to cyber threats. On its side, building on the assets and experience of its Member States, the European Union has step up its action to increase the EU cyber resilience.

As the Commissioner in charge of this policy, I have been working over the last 3 years to raise the cyber resilience landscape of Europe at the right level. At the level required from a credible partner.

In this context, there are couple of messages that I would like to convey to you all today.

My first message is that Europe & the Republic of Korea are facing a similar cyber threat landscape.

We all know of course the established cyber malware: viruses, ransomware, worms, Phishing, spyware or Trojan horses. There is a lot to be done just to deal with these, that are multiplying every year, often pushed by criminals eager to use a vulnerability to make profits. In a society and economy that will increasingly rely on digital technology, this trend is a key challenge.

But our joint cybersecurity threat landscape is changing. We are not talking anymore only about well-known malware but also about cyber as an economic or military weapon, used to disrupt supply chains, threaten critical infrastructures, disorganize our societies, attack our democratic institutions and electoral processes, or simply spread disinformation. These hybrid attacks are raising in number and sophistication.

Every day, we are experiencing attempts, by authoritarian regimes and state-backed actors, to undermine the rules-based international order in cyberspace.

And here is my second message today: the EU is ready to join forces with our advanced and strategic partners, like the Republic of Korea, to make the utmost to secure the open, global cyberspace and to work together to enhance our resilience to cyber-attacks.

And I am here in Seoul today to propose a more structured partnership on cyber.

I warmly welcome the inclusion of cybersecurity aspects in the Digital Partnership between the EU and the Republic of Korea.
