(23b) Taking into account the amount and importance of data processed in the single window infrastructure, increased digitisation and connectivity of the customs systems increase cybersecurity vulnerability, thus exposing the entire system to the risk of being paralysed after a successful cyberattack. In order to mitigate those risks, all necessary actions need to be taken to establish a cyber- secure environment for EU CSW- CERTEX, so that the network and information systems, communications networks, services and devices used by the custom authorities are better protected from cyber threats and cyberattacks, which could disrupt the provision of essential services by custom authorities across the Union.
