pose the biggest threat for digital security in the Netherlands.
Professional criminals seek financial gain.
Countries conduct digital espionage, sabotage and exert influence.
Over 100 countries worldwide use digital means for espionage...

democratic processes in several countries have been influenced by way of cyber attacks.
In the Netherlands, measures have been taken in the run up to the elections...
for the House of Representatives.
More and more devices are connected to each other across the internet,
like smart lighting, thermostats, security cameras and cars.
The development of the Internet of Things provides opportunities,
but also causes risks.

Furthermore, the Netherlands is heavily dependent on services...
from a limited number of foreign internet infrastructure providers.
Disruptions can have a substantial impact on society.
Finally, the CSAN shows that the resilience of individuals and organisations...
is lagging behind the increasing threat.
Risks will continue to grow if no extra measures are taken.
