BRUSSELS -- Mounting digital security threats from China, Russia and elsewhere have driven the European Union to devise a Joint Cyber Unit, intended for launch by 2022, to coordinate a response to attacks anywhere in the bloc.
EU members currently respond to cyberthreats individually, barring small-scale partnerships in areas such as protecting 5G infrastructure. But with attacks growing in both frequency and sophistication, the bloc aims to bolster cybersecurity -- including in its most vulnerable members.
