"Cybersecurity is no longer just an issue for the industry, but rather an issue for society in Europe," says Margaritis Schinas, Vice-President of the European Commission, in the podcast "Wintergerst trifft…". But is Europe ready for cyber warfare, and what are the greatest achievements in the field of cybersecurity so far? Plus, how will Europe cope with the shortage of skills, which Mr. Schinas describes as "the silent pandemic in Europe"? And what are the Vice-President's thoughts on Europe's strengths and weaknesses in the global digital race? These are questions that Bitkom President Dr. Ralf Wintergerst asks ahead of the 2024 European elections. ----------------------------------------- The podcast is also available as a video on YouTube.
