Cybersecurity

Protecting the systems, infrastructure, data and technologies that power the digital future.

A new cybersecurity landscape

Cybersecurity is becoming an essential layer of every technological ecosystem. As artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, connected devices, autonomous systems and critical infrastructure become increasingly interconnected, the potential attack surface continues to expand.

ENISA’s 2026 Threat Landscape highlights the growing importance of cyber dependencies and identifies ransomware, cybercrime, cyberespionage and hacktivist activity among the major forces shaping Europe’s cyber environment.

A changing threat environment

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly continuous, automated and interconnected. Phishing and vulnerability exploitation remain major entry points, while ransomware and attacks against digital dependencies can create consequences that extend across entire organizations and supply chains.

Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence is transforming both sides of the cybersecurity equation. AI can accelerate threat detection, analysis and response, while the same technologies can also be incorporated into malicious operations.

Building secure AI systems therefore requires security, governance and monitoring to evolve alongside the technology itself.

Protecting Critical Infrastructure

Energy networks, telecommunications, transportation, healthcare, financial systems and public infrastructure increasingly depend on connected digital technologies.

Cybersecurity must therefore extend beyond individual devices and protect the interconnected systems that support essential services.

Securing systems

As robots and autonomous systems become capable of perceiving, deciding and acting in the physical world, cybersecurity becomes part of their operational architecture. Secure communication, resilient control systems, protected data and trustworthy AI are essential for autonomous technologies operating in complex environments.

Data has become one of the most valuable components of modern technological systems. Protecting identities, credentials, intellectual property and sensitive information requires security architectures capable of operating across cloud, on-premise and increasingly AI-driven environments.
