Unique data from national cybersecurity strategies of 20 European countries spanning 2008–2022 highlights this gap.
This observational analysis done across these countries features a focus on the complexities of gender in cyber norms.
The findings imply that to address future cybersecurity challenges, a broader understanding of gender's role is crucial.
