Cybersecurity is an emerging subject in the public policy field in Sweden and the European Union. Part of public policy is the underlying ideas that create different approaches and instruments in the policy work. This study aim to answer which underlying ideas are present in writs from the Swedish executive government and the European Commission. The method in use is an comparative descriptive idea analysis. The analytical framework consists of three different dimensions that conceptualize threat, accountable actor and policy-instruments regarding cybersecurity. The studie shows that the commission and the Swedish executive government have similar ideas concerning the accountable actor which is public actors. However, concerning threat and policy-instruments the ideas differ. The idea of threats to cybersecurity is individual actors according to the European Commission while the Swedish executive government defines states as the threat. Concerning policy-instruments the European Commission appears to have a more regulative perspective.
