Summary/Abstract: Combating cybercrime can not be carried out solely by law enforcement authorities,without closer international cooperation. To fight cyber threats, security services alsoneed to work together with academia and the private sector. Changes in the governancestructure at the state and supranational level result from the dominant role ofcyberspace. Its defence in a changing world must be understood both nationally andinternationally. The Internet is also an environment that opens up new perspectives forthe European Union's policy.The aim of this article is to conceptualize the framework of Internet governance in orderto improve the control over cyber security by European Union institutions, withparticular focus on Europol. Since non-State actors and state entities are increasinglytrying to illegally obtain data, engage in fraud and even destabilise the politicalsituation through disinformation activities in cyberspace, Europol is therefore beginningto play an increasingly important role in the field of security policy.
