Legal aspects of the operator under the Cybersecurity Act and the pitfalls of an expansive interpretation
The Cybersecurity Act still defines the operator of an information or communication system as a person ensuring the functionality of the technical and software means constituting such a system. In my paper, I will analyze the differences in the individual definitions of operators or major suppliers, and I will also consider possible changes to the legislation in the future that would eliminate some application problems.
