Netherlands Cyber Readiness at a Glance

荷兰已经成为世界上技术最先进、连接最紧密的国家之一,为全球连接程度最高的10个国家之一。然而,荷兰不仅仅是欧洲的互联网门户。鹿特丹是欧洲最大的港口,阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场是世界上国际旅客和货物最多的机场之一。要成为"最适合"做生意的国家,现在可能比以往任何时候都重要,在英国决定退出欧盟后,荷兰有机会成为英国和欧洲之间的桥梁,帮助英国与欧洲过渡。荷兰为实现其雄心勃勃的2011-2015年数字战略——《数字议程》(Digital Agenda)建立了基础。数字战略强调,荷兰必须"更明智地利用信息通信技术推动增长和繁荣,促进创新和经济增长。"战略认识到了国家安全和经济健康之间的直接联系,警告说"实施解决互联网安全威胁的措施很有必要,它可以防止由于缺乏信心而导致的阻碍接受信息通信技术,这会限制经济增长和创新的步伐"。

the Netherlands has become one of the most technologically advanced and highly connected countries in the world-it ranks among the top10most connected countries globally.The Netherlands,however,is not just an Internet gateway to Europe.Rotterdam hosts Europe’s largest port and the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is one of the world’s busiest airports for both international passengers and cargo.Becoming“the”country to do business in is perhaps more important now than ever because the Netherlands has the opportunity to bridge the United Kingdom and Europe during the United Kingdom’s transition with Europe,as a result of Britain’s decision to exit the European Union(EU).The Netherlands has also the opportunity to position itself as a more politically stable country for conducting business during a time of increased populist movements throughout Europe.The Netherlands established the foundations to realize these opportunities in its ambitious2011-2015digital strategy-the“Digitale Agenda.”The digital strategy highlighted that the country must“make smarter use of ICTs to generate growth and prosperity,[and]boost innovation and economic growth.”The document recognized the direct link between national security and economic well-being,and warned that“measures to address threats to the security and safety of the Internet[were necessary to]prevent a lack of trust slowing the uptake of ICTs and thus acting as a constraint on the pace of economic growth and innovation.”
