The report identifies threats such as cyber-attacks and espionage activities from state-sponsored threat actors and cyber criminals in both sectors. Supply chains, especially regarding 5G networks and renewable energy infrastructures, are at particular risk.
To mitigate the identified risks, the report contains recommendations to Member States, the Commission and ENISA to timely implement resilience-enhancing measures. These recommendations include sharing good practices on mitigating ransomware, improving collective cyber-situational awareness and information sharing; improving contingency planning, crisis management and operational collaboration; assessing dependencies on high-risk third-country providers to strengthen supply chain security.
The report follows Council conclusions calling for the development of the EU’s Cyber Posture and follows-up on the report on the cybersecurity and resilience of the EU communications infrastructures and networks.
