"CERT-RO has reached the moment of maturity and all these ten years of existence of the institution have meant increasing, maturing, more deeply understanding cyber security at national and international level. They have meant the implementation of the NIS Directive, the Romanian presidency of the European Union in the field of cyber security, the challenges posed by cyber security, 5G, a lot of international cooperation, but also at the national level. It has also meant preparing for the emergence of a new institution - the National Directorate of Cyber Security Romania needs this National Cyber Security Directorate. Romania needs a new mature, firm, professional approach, with everything that means the civilian area of cyber security. Romania needs to prepare, motivate and keep its professionals. Romania is not an abstract concept. No, Romania is us, the citizens, the institutions, all who call ourselves Romanians and who have a duty to this country and to ourselves," Popescu said.
