Abstract

Abstract This article explores the regulatory framework of reference of economic cyber-espionage in Europe, with a particular focus on the V4 region (comprising Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic) and taking Hungary as a case study. Europe Union member states, including the V4 countries, are particularly exposed to economic cyber-espionage, because of the advanced know-how of the companies based therein. Under international law, there exists no uniform approach to the matter; also at the European Union level, the legal framework appears rather fragmented and the same holds true at the national level and within the V4 group, where each country has adopted its own relevant regulation. After a general overview of the relevant international and EU regulatory framework of reference, this article overviews the modus operandi of the V4 and examines its approach to economic cyber-espionage, with a special focus on Hungary as case study. As already remarked at the European and international levels, cybersecurity policies and regulations, including those regarding economic cyber-espionage operations, should be drafted in coordination among states; the V4 group can become a privileged platform of discussion to advance in the regulatory harmonisation of the issues at stake.
经济网络间谍在Visegrád四个国家:匈牙利的视角
摘要本文探讨了欧洲经济网络间谍参考的监管框架,特别关注V4地区(包括斯洛伐克、匈牙利、波兰和捷克共和国),并以匈牙利为例进行了研究。包括V4国家在内的欧盟成员国尤其容易受到经济网络间谍活动的影响,因为这些国家的公司拥有先进的技术。根据国际法,对这一问题没有统一的处理办法;同样在欧盟层面,法律框架似乎相当分散,在国家层面和V4集团内部也是如此,每个国家都通过了自己的相关法规。在概述了相关的国际和欧盟监管参考框架后,本文概述了V4的运作方式,并考察了其处理经济网络间谍活动的方法,特别以匈牙利为例进行了研究。正如已经在欧洲和国际层面上指出的那样,网络安全政策和法规,包括关于经济网络间谍活动的政策和法规应该在各国之间协调起草;V4集团可以成为一个享有特权的讨论平台,以推进相关问题的监管协调。
