ABSTRACT

The European Union (EU) is becoming increasingly dependent on cyberspace, exposing itself to new security risks. While the EU should seek to limit the proliferation of cyber weapons, the prospect of creating a cyber non-proliferation regime on the blueprint of previous arms control treaties presents several difficulties. By contrast, unilateral cyber ‘disarmament’ through government vulnerability disclosure processes would limit the proliferation of dangerous cyber weapons more effectively and increase deterrence. Few EU member states have taken active steps to establish such processes and little information is available about how they handle the knowledge of vulnerabilities in their possession.

摘要

欧盟（EU）越来越依赖网络空间，使其面临新的安全风险。尽管欧盟应设法限制网络武器的扩散，但根据先前的军备控制条约的蓝图建立网络不扩散制度的前景却遇到了许多困难。相比之下，通过政府漏洞披露程序进行的单方面网络“裁军”将更有效地限制危险网络武器的扩散并增加威慑力。很少有欧盟成员国采取积极步骤来建立这样的程序，并且很少有关于它们如何处理其所拥有的漏洞知识的信息。
