how is the applicability of this EU legal instrument affected by the departure of the UK from the EU? The topic is in relation to the EU RED, and the applicability of some of your discussion may be lessened as a result of the UK’s departure.

take into account at least one concrete cybersecurity-relevant event, incident or dispute
