ABSTRACT
Hungary is committed to developing cyber space into a free, secure, and innovative environment as a key element of Hungary’s drive for economic and social prosperity. This chapter offers a review of the intensified Hungarian efforts in the field of cyber security from the beginnings to the present. It describes how the legal, technical, and organizational environment have been changed in the light of the evolving cyber security landscape during the recent years. Hungary maintains the applicability of domestic law to the Hungarian cyber space. Hungary is looking forward and contributing to different initiatives in relation to international law and cyber issues. Regarding the cultural understanding of cyber space Hungary, as part of the EU, perceives privacy issues serious and applies the relevant national and international regulations accordingly. In the private sector Hungary is already hosting high-tech, world-leading cyber related solutions and services, but these are mostly connected to the presence of multinational companies with their shared service centers.
