The Security Policy of the European Union is subject to constant change in response to the emergence of new formsof threat. Modifications of both a legislative and non‑legislativenature should as a matter of principle respond to new formsof the threat to security. It remains an open question, however, whether the new tools and mechanisms elaborated relate to itsinternal national dimension, or external within the context of the European Union. A response to this should be provided from withinthe treaty provisions. Clarifying the scope of the subject matter in relation to internal security will allow analysis of the significanceof structural changes. These considerations are the starting point to approximate the internal security threats associated with everfaster increase of crime in cyberspace. The activity of cybercriminals, which as regards methods, forms, scale of effects and territorialscope surpasses the previously recognized forms of crime, will thus require EU legislature and judiciary measures adequate to meetthe new security threats.
