In an effort to support this cybersecurity strategy, ENISA releases a report intended to look into digital strategic autonomy in the EU and suggests future research directions.

Digital strategic autonomy can be defined as the ability of Europe to source products and services designed to meet the EU's specific needs and values, while avoiding being subject to the influence of the outside world.

In the digital world, such needs may encompass hardware, software or algorithms, manufactured as products and/or services, which should comply with the EU values, and thus preserve a fair digital ecosystem while respecting privacy and digital rights.

In short, digital strategic autonomy means the capacity for the EU to remain autonomous in specific areas of society where digital technologies are used.

Such are the main dimensions to be considered under the idea of digital strategic autonomy.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of cybersecurity and the need for the EU to continue to invest in research and development in the digital sector.
